Core Memory

Lyrics

I wake up to your voice while you open my bedroom windows
You say I'm running late for school that day
No breakfast, just straight out the driveway

I had a good day, everyone talked to me
Sweet drinks and busy hallways, running away from the intentional getaway

One, two, I stepped on your shoe, but you smiled at me
Later that day, I sent you a message saying I'm sorry
For no reason, I was brave and all smiley
Oh oh oh, that day I made a core memory

The next day, I woke up on my own, earlier than the song of the birds
Greeted the day with a smile
Asked you to meet me in the hallway
Talk some and maybe make you mine that day

It was the best thing since sliced bread
Salt chips and your cousins, talking about how they saw me hiding

One, two, I was looking for you, and that day I saw your cousins too
Then we met, we talked, and shared laughters of flirt
For no reason, I was brave, ready to show the world
Oh oh oh, that day I made a core memory

And if Romeo had just allowed himself to see
The lying but breathing body of his sweetie
Would their love story be better than the 20th century?

One, two, there's no more you
Who ghosted? Was it me or you?
But it doesn't matter now, 'cause I have made new core memories
Core memories, even without you
