Fake Memory

[Verse 1]
We're smiling for the camera
Me and my mother and my aunt
Me in an ill-fitting tuxedo
Wrong color cumberband

And 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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Fake memory
Telling me what I want to hear
Oo oo fake memory
Telling me what I want to hear

[Verse 3]
And now we're capturing these moments
Tying them to the tracks
Here comes a 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

[Chorus]
Fake memory
Telling me what I want to hear
Oo oo fake memory
Telling me what I want to hear[Lead][Background]Do you remember?Oo ooRemember the time?Fake memoryWhen we were all laughing?Telling meWas I laughing or crying?What I want to hearYeah do you remember?Oo ooDo you recall?Fake memoryThe love climbingTelling meBefore the fall?What I want to hear
