Neko Case
Nothing to Remember
[Verse 1]
I spent my life becoming invisible
It’s hard to maintain
And it’s hard to get by
I don’t recall
Fight or flight setting in
I had no introduction
I just breathe it in like the air
And there’s nothing to remember
There is nothing to remember
[Verse 2]
I owe you nothing
That’s all I’ve got for you
And you’ll borrow nothing
That’s what you expect of me
So you send me a love
Out of thin sailor’s knots
And I fear underneath the weight of your thoughts
My footsteps now they won’t echo too loudly
[Chorus]
All I own
All I own
Are the strides I spend to the finish line
All I own
All I own
Are the strides I spend to the finish line
And I’ll give you those
[Bridge]
You told me something that scared me to death
Don’t take me home
I can’t face that yet
I’m ashamed that I’m barely human
And I’m ashamed that I don’t have a heart you can break
I’m just action
And other times reaction
[Chorus]
All I own
All I own
Are the strides I spend to the finish line
All I own
All I own
Are the strides I spend to the finish line
And I’ll give you those
Just don’t make me go home
[Outro]
Give me something to remember
Give me something to remember
Give me something to remember
