Intro

Verse 1

oil tankers and the national guard

I came to meet you but I camped out in your yard

why turn the key

there's so much here to see

these are my memories

Chorus 1

of precious places and precious things

that were meaningless before

We'd seen them together

Verse 2

Old hinges squeaking in the rain

That hotel by the highway where we stayed

There's something every hour

Who needs the Eiffel tower

When we've got memories

Chorus 2

Of precious places, precious things

That were meaningless before

We'd seen them together

Bridge

The pen, the car, the paint, the peel

The moon and star, the message clear

Liberty raised her hand to us

As if to say its ok

Live today, live today

Verse 3

I said don't leave me don't break the tie

Then I left you and time went rolling by

Now here's what I can't stand

I know that every landmark

Triggers memories

Chorus 3

Of stupid places and silly things

That were meaningless before

We'd seen them together

Meaningless before

We'd seen them together

They were meaningless before

We'd seen them together

I'm very sure you guys can figure it out from here.
