Sprawled on the beach with cherry-stained teeth and laughter that filled up my chest
A hazy memory I play on repeat to drown out all of the rest
'Cause sipping stale coffee from styrofoam cups and the weight of a silence-filled room
Won't be the things that remind me of you
I close my eyes and I see us in bare feet as we dance our way across kitchen floors
Singing "Forever Young" at the top of our lungs, this has to be worth so much more
Than trying not to cry in a dress that's too tight, in a sterilized hospital room
These won't be the things that remind me of you
Oh I don't know how we find ourselves here
But I know that these moments seem to drag on like years
And hope may be faltering, flickering dear
But do you recall our backyard in the fall, a kaleidoscope of orange and red
How we'd play in the leaves till the cold flushed our cheeks, this image is ingrained in my head
So faces grown pale and words that all fail and days that I cannot wade through
Won't be the things that remind me of you
Won't be the things that define me and you
These won't be the things that remind me of you
