I′m in love with the thought of you
When you were 22
My pair of boots and your converse shoesKicked off by the front door
Sippin' cheap tequila on the front porch
I′m in love with the history of you and me
How we used to be
The king and queen of this small town
Young and wild
Something from the 90s on the dashboard dial
But oh, the memory ain't enough
'Cause I can look but I can′t touch
A memory can′t kiss you outside of your momma's house
Midnight rain on a Chevy hood
A memory can′t hold you in a Sarasota sunrise
Even though you wish it would
All it's gonna do is make you lose sleep at night
Wake up and leave you in the past
You can love a memory
But a memory can′t love you back
Just when I think I've found someone new
It′s come out the blue
It kills my buzz and it kills the mood
Those two years are long gone
And I should be moving on
But oh, a memory will make it hard
It's time to realize
It don't deserve my heart
A memory can′t kiss you outside of your momma′s house
Midnight rain on a Chevy hood
A memory can't hold you in a Sarasota sunrise
Even though you wish it would
All it′s gonna do is make you lose sleep at night
Wake up and leave you in the past
You can love a memory
But a memory can't love you back
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
A memory can′t tell you how you make it feel
In the moonlight glow of a shotgun seat
A memory can't pick out a diamond ring
And say I do under an old oak tree
All it′s gonna do is make you lose sleep at night
Wake up and leave you in the past
You can love a memory
But a memory can't love you back
Oh
Can't love you back (oh)
You can love a memory
But a memory can′t love you back
