lyrics

Living well is the best revenge
Second best is dating one of her friends
She moves on like an 80’s trend
In a hipster district at the season’s end

Your world is upside down
And you’re not a bat you don’t sleep like that
If I wanted her less she would want me back
If I could play defense I know she’d attack

All my muscle memory remembers you pressed against me
If walls could talk then they’d have some things to say
And all my muscle memory remembers you on hands and knees
Everything else just keeps on fading away

It must have been like a cactus
Trying to grow leaves
And I was so out of practice
Locking the world out and losing the keys

And I second guessed it
But still I let her in closer
And as we got closer
We only got closer to the hangover

All my muscle memory remembers you pressed against me
If walls could talk then they’d have some things to say
And all my muscle memory remembers you on hands and knees
Everything else just keeps on fading away

How can you feel imprisoned by the one who let you go
Like your life is a song and you’re missing every note
I am making a mess of love messages she wrote
Naked photos going in the trash

All my muscle memory remembers you pressed against me
And all my muscle memory remembers you on hands and knees
And all the rest fades away
