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
