The Persistence of Memory Video (MV)

I remember driving
And the smell of rain
Your hand was out the window
Flying like a plane
I remember smiling and staring at your face
Like it could disappear
If I blinked or looked away

Old hickory in your sad dress
Won't let me go just yet
Well I remember sitting on your folks' pull out couch
Kept saying it was cold
I was staring at your mouth

But the more I read by memory
The less I pay it mind
Just a story that we tell ourselves
Almost a lullaby
But your eyes and the TV glow
They still won't let me go

Oh I know we had our reasons why
But I can not hold them in my mind
I know we had our reasons why
Reasons why
But instead I

I remember watching you across the room
Yeah I knew all your friends
But I did not know you
Then when you said your name
I almost felt sick
The whole world spun around
I loved you so quick
You laughed and turned your head
I can't get free of it

Oh I know we had our reasons why
I know we had some real bad times
But I can not hold them in my mind
In my mind
