Remembrance of Things Past Lyrics by Ryan Scott Oliver

Past Demons

2022

[JANE]
I had just woken up a wink before dawn
When I thought of your name and —
It was gone
You were reading the manual for the toaster
And as I replaced your drink for a coaster
I looked at your face and gave my mind a spank
But your first and last had left my memory bank...
Honey, you know I love you
And we've been through our share of tears
I hold no one else above you
It's been heaven, these 7 years
Still, all the same
I really can't remember your name
Is it sexy like Hunter, or strapping like Will?
Is it terribly Chad, or unforgiveably... Dill?
Is it stupid like Topher or a throwback like J.R.?
Confusing like Sam
Whoever knows who the hell they are?
I was cycling through names
And doing laps through the house
Cause what's more annoying
Than an anonymous spouse?
Honey, you know I need you
When I got stabbed, you took off work
You're so much of me, I bleed you
And we're both the same kind of jerk
Still, all the same
I really can't remember your name
No, please don't be Dana
Fred, Carl, Steve , God no
But if you were, like, Joey — even Joe
Joey or Joe would have all systems go
All systems go!
'Cause Honey, you know I'd perish
For you, I'd gladly crash a train
Each day lived with you I cherish
And so you see it's driving me insane
How my world's all you
But I can't recall what to call you
Ain't it a shame?
Still, all the same
Oh, I just can't remember your name
No, I just can't remember your name
No, I just can't remem—
Adam?
No
I really can't remember your name
[HUSBAND, spoken]
Mail's here
[WOMAN, spoken]
Mail!
(gasp)
Gerald?
[HUSBAND]
Janie?
[WOMAN]
I can't do this anymore
[HUSBAND]
What? ...Jane?
...Jane? Jane? Jane?
