Fake Memory Songtext / Lyric

We're smiling for the camera

Me and my mother and my aunt

Me in an ill-fitting tuxedo

Wrong color cumber-band



Not quite the full picture

Some photos missing from the pack

Where's me asleep on the table?

Or her not kissing me back?

Her not kissing me back



The space that lies between us

I remember is cold

But one man's deep failure

Is another man's gold



I sometimes get a little mixed up

In this Venn diagram

That little sliver in the middle:

Who I wanna be is who I am

Is who I am






Fake memory

Telling me what I want to hear

Oh, fake memory

Telling me what I want to hear



Now we're capturing these moments

Tying them to the track

Here comes the locomotive

And no one gives a damn



You can't say no, it never happened

And you're not alone

If memory serves you badly

It's right here on my phone

It's right here on my phone



Fake memory

Telling me what I want to hear

Oh, fake memory

Telling me what I want to hear



Do you remember?

Remember the time?

When we were all laughing

Was I laughing or crying?



Do you remember?

Do you recall?

The love climbing

Before the fall?
