Memorizing Strangers

I asked him what he missed about you the most
Lying on the beach of the Australian coast
Something about the way she held my heavy head close
I suppose
But that was 16 years ago
You'll never get it, you'll never know
How to long for someone that you chose to let go
It's like memorizing strangers
On a crowded street
How we try to remember
The ones we leave
It's like trying to clean a wound with alcohol
We'll never heal right
Still burning from the fall
I think I know what it feels like
I asked him what he liked about you the most
Staring off at the archipelago
I got lost in every word that she spoke
Only 16 years ago
I'll never forget it, our last night in Geelong
The only time I'll ever admit I was wrong
It's like memorizing strangers
On a crowded street
How we try to remember
The ones we leave
It's like trying to clean a wound with alcohol
We'll never heal right
Still burning from the fall
I think I know what it feels like
It's like memorizing strangers
On a crowded street
How we try to remember
The ones we leave
It's like trying to clean a wound with alcohol
We'll never heal right
Still burning from the fall
I think I know what it feels like
