So after we’ve said we’ll write, I compare souvenirs I see I’ve ended up petrified, both in conviction and years I knew we were similar OK, I’m a child and yes, a bit rough And over-familiar With a temperament only a mother could love
You’ve got your memories I’ll get my stuff All my innuendos, every double entendre You’ve stopped ignoring them, albeit ‘cos you’ve gone It’s like Foghorn Leghorn says I don’t need your love to keep me warm
I have my bandages They’re the most comforting things that I’ve worn You’ve got your memories I’ll always have corn
So then I awaken and I turn on the light I know you letting me know you wasn’t done out of spite But it could have been different From all of the conventional friendships I’ve found But I am diffident and sensible Keeping cloud nine on the ground
How could I have ever thought Our ships would crash in the night? And you’ve got your memories to cushion you Hard and they’re real and they’re yours I’ve just got fantasies My cushion is never as real as it seems You’ve got your memories, I’ve got my dreams You’ve got your memories, I’ve got my dreams
