Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When someone tells me they're from Massachusetts, now I always ask, "What part?"
I wonder if you kept the pilgrim ashtray, if it's still propped up on your bar cart
Could make a grand off of the chain you bought me, but goddamn, it's not for sale
When someone asks me who's my favorite Batman, I'll think of you and say, "Christian Bale"
[Chorus]
As long as I live, I'll remember the names
Of your favorite beers and your video games
The look on your face when you turned twenty-six
And your dad got too stoned, yeah, that one's gonna stick
You broke me to pieces, but I root for you even though everything went up in flames
I'll never forget how I bloomed for your gaze or your wall of guitars or your video games
Or your video games
Or your video games
[Verse 2]
Pick up your phrases, now I say, "It's aces," but it always sounds so fake
I wonder if your tongue is turning over anything I used to say
Your sister's trying for a baby lately, and your parents got new jobs
It's getting darker, so I turn you down, but I can't turn you off, oh, oh
[Chorus]
As long as I live, I'll remember the names
Of your favorite beers and your video games
The look on your face when you turned twenty-six
And your dad got too stoned, yeah, that one's gonna stick
You broke me to pieces, but I root for you even though everything went up in flames
I'll never forget how I bloomed for your gaze or your wall of guitars or your video games
Or your video games
Or your video games
[Bridge]
At least I'm treading water and not about to drown
I'm not trying to find you, babe, you're just around
Everything reminds me of you, even now
Even now, even now
[Outro]
As long as I live, I'll remember the names
Of your favorite beers and your video games
The fire in my gut that I've chased ever since
You set the bar, you're gonna stick
