[Verse 1] I found your name in a cracked old frame On a shelf by the window in the August rain The same slow light, the same small room And I was seventeen again, hearing you [Pre-Chorus] Back when the nights felt endless Back when we thought we'd stay Now every faded corner Still knows your face [Chorus] Nostalgic memory, you come back like a song One note and I'm falling where I used to belong Sweet little ache, you don't stay, you just remain Nostalgic memory, like a fire in the rain [Verse 2] Old blue jeans and a thrift-store tee A chipped white mug and a half-burned dream The radio hummed through the kitchen wall And we danced like the world couldn't hurt us at all [Pre-Chorus] But time kept moving forward And nothing held its place Still I can taste that summer If I close my eyes and wait [Chorus] Nostalgic memory, you come back like a song One note and I'm falling where I used to belong Sweet little ache, you don't stay, you just remain Nostalgic memory, like a fire in the rain [Bridge] Maybe that's the kindness Of the things we can't keep They don't ask to be forgotten They just live inside of me [Final Chorus] Nostalgic memory, you come back like a song One note and I'm falling where I used to belong Sweet little ache, you don't stay, you just remain Nostalgic memory, you'll always know my name
