Lyrics

I remember it all like yesterday
Yesterday's often miles away
And sometimes today can't become yesterday fast enough
Well tomorrow always wants to be a brand new day
But when it rolls around it's just like today
And it's been that way as long as I can recall

If it makes you feel better we'll pretend it never happened at all

For reasons unknown that I can't explain
Whenever we take a ride down memory lane
It's like the wheels come off
We both have to walk back alone

I get lumps in my throat and tears in my eyes
I guess I'm just an emotional guy
And it's been that way as long as I can recall

If it makes you feel better we'll pretend it never happened at all

If it makes you feel better we'll pretend it never happened
We'll pretend it never happened if it makes you feel better at all

If it makes you feel better
If it makes you feel better

There's poorly kept secrets and twice-told tales
About the times that I nearly went off of the rails
And be that as may it still don't make it seem right

It ain't about you, it ain't about me
We'll have to just agree just to disagree
We'll have to just agree just to disagree
We'll have to just agree just to disagree

And it's been that way as long as I can recall

If it makes you feel better we'll pretend it never happened at all
