Memories In The Middle

When the flowers bloom I see you In the cotton candy skies We don't talk anymore But if we did I'd call you up tonight In the light of the moon And the thick air of June It'd feel like old times We don't talk anymore but if we did I'd call you up tonight So why do we only remember The goodbyes when they're only the embers Of the hellos and the hell we raised when we were little Oh I just want to hold onto the memories in the middle We'd hear the owls coo Get a 'squito bite or two And laugh until we cried We don't talk anymore But if we did I'd call you up tonight So I hope your moon is half full I hope your mama's doing good I hope you think of me fondly if ever you should I know we came to a bitter and white knuckle end But you were really a honeysuckle friend So why do we only remember The goodbyes when they're only the embers Of the hellos and the hell we raised when we were little Oh I just want to hold onto the memories in the middle So why do we only remember The goodbyes when they're only the embers Of the hellos and the hell we raised when we were little Oh I just want to hold onto the memories in the middle Oh I just want to hold onto the memories in the middle If you hear this tune and think it's for you I reckon you'd be right We don't talk anymore But I just might call you up tonight
