I Remember Me
This Day & Age Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's make this a night to remember
Let's forget
All the times we spent together
Let's run with our eyes closed
Because I suppose
That some dreams are meant to be broken

Let's runaway
Cause I don't know how to say this anyway
We don't believe in anything
We believe in yesterday
And she remembers
All the pain and heartache

Let's make this a night to remember
Let's close down
All the roads we drove on together
Let's hop the next train
Cause we can't regain
What's been lost in these lives
In this small town

Lock the door




Cause I don't need to be
In this place anymore
