Strain Your Memory - The Menzingers

May the highways cross their fingers and hope

That we may one day find ourselves home

She sticks her head outside the passenger window

Sighs as traffic stops and goes

It’s been two weeks now living in this southern town

We hoped the change would change our restless minds

A little rewind to a simpler time

I swear it’s temporary living in this cheap motel

Somewhere in the bible belt

We made love at that Marietta Motel 6

You fell asleep on my shoulder of commitment

Took it as a sign everything would be fine

Sometimes it takes these kind of nights just to realize

How we want to spend the rest of our lives

Could a diamond in the rough ever be enough

I’ve been mining for your love

Since the day that we met I’ve spent every second in your minefield digging it

up

Can you strain your memory back to the times

When trouble wasn’t always, always on our minds

Trouble wasn’t always on our minds

Back to the times when trouble wasn’t always on our minds

And now the hotel maids were bangin' down the door

As if they came looking for some answers

When ya gonna leave?

Where ya gonna go?

Will you get your shit together?

When are you gonna marry her?

Well maybe you don’t deserve her

Maybe the whole thing was doomed from the start

This inquisition is tearing me apart

Could a diamond in the rough ever be enough

I’ve been mining for your love

Since the day that we met I’ve spent every second in your minefield digging it

up

Can you strain your memory back to the times

When trouble wasn’t always on our minds

Can you strain your memory one more time

When trouble wasn’t always, always on our minds

When trouble wasn’t always on our minds

Back to the times when trouble wasn’t always on our minds
