lyrics

What to do with sweet memories that ended sour—
Frame them, caress them, or lock them in a tower?
Drop them off of a pier with weighted feet?
Gasp each time they crawl out from the deep?

Tranquilize them or let them have their say?
Listen deeply or run so far away?
Barricade them in your darkest room?
Change cities, they'll be homeward bound so soon

And it feels so physical
Can't tuck them away, put them away at all
Running up the stairs and through the wall

What to do with good memories that ended bad—
Look back fondly or stuff them into a bag?
Lock them in a locker at the station where
You last kissed her and she last touched your hair?

What to do with fond memories that are still raw–
Make a soup of them 'til it boils over
Don't think about them for most of all the days
Let them hum, you can hum louder anyways

And it feels insatiable
Somewhere someone's living my life right
But I don't know who they are or where they are tonight

And it's irretrievable
Orpheus is the myth I understand the best
Not the singing part, but all the rest
