They Want You To Remember - Field Music

Park your car in the drive

And stand out on the step

Your mother’s in the cul-de-sac

Take a walk for a change

And cut up to the park

The shops and to the hall

If there’s anything the same

The gardens know your name

And try to keep a piece of you

Beyond you

They want you to remember

They want you to remember

They want you to remember how you cried

And though it hurts, they’ll always want you to remember

Chasing up through the streets

The traffic and the trees

They make the air that we recall

Push the gate on its hinge

And let it swing away

While never going in

We were the only thing

Though only for a while

Those days, they keep a piece of me

Beyond me

They want me to remember

They want me to remember

They want me to remember how we tried

And though it hurts, they’ll always want me to remember

They want me to remember
