We're smiling for the camera
Me and my mother and my aunt
Me in an ill-fitting tuxedo
Wrong color cumberbund
And not quite the full picture
Some photos missing from the pack
Where's me asleep on the table?
Or her not kissing me back?
Her not kissing me back
The space that lies between us
I remember, is cold
But one man's deep failure
Is another man's gold
I sometimes get a little mixed up
In this Venn diagram
That little sliver in the middle
Who I wanna be is who I am
Is who I am
Fake memory
Telling me what I want to hear
Fake memory
Telling me what I want to hear
And now we're capturing these moments
Tying them to the tracks
Here comes a locomotive
And no one gives a damn
You can't say, no, it never happened
And you're not alone
If memory serves you badly
It's right here on my phone
It's right here on my phone
Fake memory
Telling me what I want to hear
Fake memory
Telling me what I want to hear
Do you remember?
(Fake memory)
Remember the time
When we were all laughing?
(Telling me what I want to hear)
Was I laughing or crying?
Yeah, do you remember?
(Fake memory)
Do you recall?
The love climbing
(Telling me what I want to hear)
Before the fall?
