Now, back in the day, I was high-test gasoline
Now, maybe I'm more like last year's kerosene
But I still burned, I still burn
You walked away while there was still a little left
Making me feel like a half-smoked cigarette
But I learned, yeah, I learned
Don't go chasing a memory
That's just your past dressed up like your destiny
You're better off pressing on and letting it be
And don't go chasing a memory
Oh, I remember the time you were the girl in every song
And in my mind, the one that can do no wrong
That image of you is never gone from my mind
Don't go chasing a memory
That's just your past dressed up like your destiny
You're better off pressing on and letting it be
And don't go chasing a memory
To catch it now would never be the same
I'm leaving you in that untouchable frame
Don't go chasing a memory
That's just your past dressed up like your destiny
You're better off pressing on and letting it be
Don't go chasing, don't go chasing
Don't go chasing a memory
That's just your past dressed up like your destiny
You're better off pressing on and letting it be
And don't go chasing a memory
