I know, I cannot leave this place for the memories
Things like the way they knew us all over town
We used to walk the streets together
We could be seen
Past shops where people knew us
Yeah, people knew

I've got to choose between tomorrow and yesterday
I can't stop to think about my life here today

Memories can hang you up and haunt you
All your life, you know
Get so you cannot stay
And yet cannot go

Hey, I could find out where you've gone today
I feel so unhappy
Streets seem so empty now
I want you
I want you with me
Maybe I'll find someone to get you of my mind
Take me away from here and leave it, leave it all behind

Memories can hang you up and haunt you
All your life, you know
Get so you cannot stay
And yet cannot go
