"Remember Me That Way" lyrics

Hey, baby, ain't time like rose-colored glass?
Everything looks a little better on the other side
The days go slow but the years go fast
Yeah, it's easy to forget there was "good" in the "bye"

'Cause we were screaming at each other through a slammed-shut door
Fighting over friends, trying to keep a damn score
It was whiskey into jealousy, accusing infidelity
Baby, if you think of me, can you think of me?

Bare-feet running from the lightning
Bare-skin kissing in the swimming pool
Sleeping under California diamonds
Driving down the 1 out in Malibu
Girl, I know it ended on a bad one
But we ain't gotta be a bitter cliché
Yeah, we made a lot of damn good memories
I just hope you remember me that way

Hey, baby, if they buried our love in the dirt
And they carved in stone everything we were
Do we both deserve
"Here lies lovers that'll never be friends
Go to Hell, I never wanna see you again"?
Life's too short to hate that much
So, if you ever dig our story back up, can it just be

Bare-feet running from the lightning
Bare-skin kissing in the swimming pool
Sleeping under California diamonds
Driving down the 1 out in Malibu
Girl, I know it ended on a bad one
But we ain't gotta be a bitter cliché
Yeah, we made a lot of damn good memories
I just hope you remember me that way

Remember me that way
Remember me that way

Taking two-for-one shots on Sunset
Passing out when the sky turned blue
Making love on your living-room couch
I'll tell you right now, that's how I remember you

Girl, I know it ended on a bad one
But we ain't gotta be a bitter cliché
Yeah, we made a lot of damn good memories
I just hope you remember me that way

Remember me that way
Remember me that way
I just hope you remember me that way
