Omar Rodríguez-López - Memories lyrics

I know I cannot leave this place Full of memories Things like the way they knew us All over town We used to walk the streets together We could be seen Past shops where people knew us Yeah, people knew I've got to choose between tomorrow And yesterday I can't stop to think about My life, here today Maybe I'll find someone to get you Off my mind Take me away from here And leave it, leave it all behind Memories can hang you up and haunt you All your life, you know Get so you cannot stay And yet cannot go I could find out where she's gone Today I feel so unhappy Streets seem so empty now I want you with me
