What I'll Remember Most - Over the Rhine

The saddest songs are the happiest

The hardest truths are the easiest

Put us both to the test

And tell me if you still need me

And I will swallow these words

And see if I can still believe

The biggest lies are the little ones

When the look in your eyes is the distant one

Angel or demon

You know that they can share the same bed

I’ve laid awake so long

I’ve got them both inside my head

This is what I’ll remember most about dying

So many moments like ghosts

Slipping through my hands in vain

You were 80% angel

10% demon

The rest was hard to explain

This American dream may be poisonous

Violence is contagious

Crowded or empty

I walk these city streets alone

Whoever brought me here

Is gonna have to take me home

This is what I’ll remember most about dying

Loading these moments like a gun

Hoping to kill the pain

You were 80% angel

10% demon

The rest was hard to explain

This is what I’ll remember most about dying

So many moments like ghosts

Slipping through my hands in vain

You were 80% angel

10% demon

The rest was hard to explain

You were 80% angel

10% demon

The rest was hard to explain
