Dear Margaret Lyrics by John Gallagher, Jr.

Goodbye or Something

0

Do you remember the podcast
About the guy who was dying
So his mom and his girlfriend
Came to live with him?
And his next door neighbor
Saw it all through a window
They cleaned out his apartment
And someone else moved in
You said it got you thinking
What if you lost me
And a couple of years was all the time we got to have
And then you started crying
I think I did too
And we held each other in the back of the cab
Do you remember your birthday
Out in Carroll Gardens
At the bar where they taught you
All thе tricks of the trade?
Do you remеmber how badly
I could get it wrong sometimes
And how aptly you could make it okay?
Do you remember surprising me with Halloween decorations?
We went to the movies and were too scared to hold hands
But I wasn't joking the time I promised
That I would carry you across the desert sands
Then I tried to hold you to that, but you ran
Then I tried to hold on to you but I just don't think I can
Do you remember Jamaica?
Do you remember New Jersey?
Do you remember the North Fork, New Orleans, and LA?
Do you remember the first time I told you that I loved you?
We'd been having a dumb fight that could no longer wait
Do you remember the gunshots that we heard in Minnesota?
Or the night you kicked your sandals off over the fence
I climbed into the churchyard and got them for you
Oh, you were so mad at a text your mom had sent
I'm just trying to find where all these moments went
Do you remember the hurricane or Eighth and Jane
Or did you just forget?
I guess I'm only asking because somebody has to
And based on my bloodline, I fear for my memory
So like the Dutchman and dear Margaret
I was just wondering if you'd remember for me
'Cause one day I won't know your number or your nickname
I'm already struggling just trying to picture your face
I guess that's why I have to keep a record
So we don't vanish without a trace
So we don't vanish without a trace
So we don't vanish, so we don't vanish
