"Requiem For O.M.M.2" lyrics - OF MONTREAL

When I met you I was just a kid
Hadn't built up my defenses
So I gave my heart completely
Vaseline over the lenses

[Hook 1:]
Memories don't go away
I remember every day
I never ever stop wondering
Wondering if you still think of us
I don't need a photograph
'Cause you've never left my mind
No you've never left my mind

I remember feeling like a ship
Whose captain was too drunk to steer
And you watched as I was sinking
Waving sadly from the pier

[Hook 2:]
Memories don't go away
I remember every day
I never ever stop wondering
Wondering if you still think of us
I don't need a photograph
'Cause you've never left my mind
No you've never left my mind

Its such a burden to carry 'round
The vestiges of dead dreams
And I don't want to make a wake out of my life
I just had to let you go
