[Verse 1: Benji Hughes]
At a party last New Year's eve somewhere downtown
We started talking about how we wanted someone to kiss after the countdown
I went to get us both a drink at the bar and when I came back you were gone
I didn't think I'd ever see you again
[Verse 2: Jenny Lewis]
Last winter I was working nights and I missed the last train
Nothing unusual, I walk home in the snow again
A car stops, rolls down the window and asks me my name
I replied, I realised "it was you"
[Chorus 1: Jenny Lewis & Benji Hughes]
And may all acquaintances be forgot but I remember you
And I remember, and I remember, and I remember you
And I remember, and I remember you
[Verse 3: Benji Hughes, Jenny Lewis, both]
I don't want you to think that this happens to me all the time
I hope you don't think I make a habit of taking strange rides
The conversation was easy there was glitter on her face
We carried on and talked until dawn
[Chorus 2: Jenny Lewis & Benji Hughes]
And my heart is breaking, my knees is shaking and I'm just hanging around
And the clock is ticking, the world is spinning, there's nothing that I found
And may all acquaintances be forgot but I remember you
And I remember, and I remember
[Post-Chorus: Jenny Lewis, Benji Hughes]
When you gave me your word
Gave me your word, gave me your word (Is all that I have)
And you gave me your word, gave me your word
And you gave me your word, oh
And now I
And now I
[Chorus 2: Jenny Lewis & Benji Hughes]
And my heart is breaking, my knees is shaking and I'm just hanging around
And the clock is ticking, the world is spinning, there's nothing that I've found
And may all acquaintances be forgot but I remember you
And I remember, and I remember, and I remember you
[Post-Chorus: Jenny Lewis, Benji Hughes, both]
(And now I)
And my heart is breaking, my knees is shaking and I'm just hanging around
(And now I)
And the clock is ticking, the world is spinning, there's nothing that I've found
And my heart is breaking, my knees is shaking and I'm just hangin' around
And the clock is ticking, the world is spinning, there's nothing that I've found
(And now I)
