I Can't Forget (Dreampop)

(ah ah ah) (oh oh oh) So many things have disappeared From the corners of my mind I can't conjure up the faces Of old friends I cannot find [chorus] But I can't forget Every freckle, every smile, Every smirk, every dimple, Every place I kissed, Every line on your face, Every taste is missed [post-chorus] Every trace of your fingers The pace of your breathing And the sound of you leaving [Musical Interlude] [Solo: Saxophone] I try to write your memory down, But the ink just bleeds away The pages curl and crumble, like All the words we used to say There’s peace in how the silence grows, Where your laughter used to be I stare into the shadows left, And it all comes back to me [bridge] I wear your absence like perfume, It lingers on my skin I breathe it in and call it love, And start to ache again [chorus] But I can't forget every freckle Every smile, every smirk, every dimple Every line on your face, Every place I kissed Every taste is missed The seasons changed without a sound, But time will never mend I learned to live in smaller ways, Without the need to pretend But when I dream, you’re vivid still, A fire I can’t unmake And I wake up reaching out for you, To find there’s only space
