Memories
Panic!; At The Disco Lyrics

He was the congregation's vagrant
He was a wanderer in the church community

With an unrequited love
He was in love with someone who did not love him back

When your passion's exaltation
When your love is at its highest point

Than finding refuge is not enough
Finding a safe place to be is not enough if your love is not reciprocated

She was the youngest of the family
She was the youngest child in her family

And the last to be let go
She was the last to leave her family's household

Then they decided they would try
They made the decision to try and make it on their own

To make it on their own
To be independent and self-sufficient

Oh memories
Oh, the memories

Where'd you go?
Where have you gone?

You were all I've ever known
You were all that I have ever experienced

How I miss yesterday
How I miss the past

And how I'd let it fade away?
And how I allowed it to disappear?

When July became December
When summer turned into winter

Their affection fought the cold
Their love struggled in the face of the harsh weather

But they couldn't quite remember
But they could not remember exactly

What inspired them to go
What motivated them to leave

And it was beautifully depressing
And it was both lovely and sad

Like a 'Street Car Named Desire'
Like the play 'A Streetcar Named Desire'

They were fighting for their love
They were struggling to keep their relationship intact

It started growing tired
It began to weaken

When money lost momentum
When they began to experience financial difficulties

And the bills were piling high
And their debts were accumulating

Then the smile had finally faded
Then, their happiness disappeared

From the apple of their eye
From the person they loved most

They were young and independent
They were young and self-sufficient

And they thought they had it planned
And they believed they had everything figured out

Should have known right from the start
They should have realized from the beginning

You can't predict the end
The future is always uncertain

Don't fade away
Please do not disappear
