"Pepper" lyrics

"Pepper"

Take a picture to remember this by
You'll never hold all the details in your mind
Fillin' your head with superfluous facts
Pushin' out what you're never gettin' back
And all that's left is a version of the truth
A recollection that is often misconstrued
Sgt. Pepper with the faces of friends
But the names all elude you in the end

Kiss me just this one last time
Tell me that you once were mine

Take a picture to remember me by
To show everybody who you left behind
The near-miss that almost shot you out of the blue
I was a city you were only passin' through
And all that's left is a version of events
Favorably framed for the sake of self-defense
We barely notice as the pages disappear
Floating off into another year

Kiss me just this one last time
Tell me that you once were mine
Kiss me just this one last time
Show me that your love was mine

Kiss me just this one last time
Tell me that you once were mine
Kiss me just this one last time
Show me that your love was mine
