[Verse 1]
When someone tells me they’re from Massachusetts
Now I always ask, “What part?”
I wonder if you kept the pilgrim ashtray
If it’s still propped up on your bar cart
Could make a grand off of the chain you bought me
But goddamn, it’s not for sale
When someone asks me who’s my favorite Batman
I’ll think of you and say, “Christian Bale”

[Chorus]
As long as I live, I’ll remember the names
Of your favorite beers and your video games
The look on your face when you turned twenty-six
And your dad got too stoned, yeah, that one’s gonna stick
You broke me to pieces, but I root for you
Even though everything went up in flames
I’ll never forget how I bloomed for your gaze
Or your wall of guitars, or your video games
Or your video games

[Post-Chorus]
Or your video games

[Verse 2]
Pick up your phrases, now I say, “It’s aces”
But it always sounds so fake
I wonder if your tongue is turning over
Anything I used to say
Your sister’s trying for a baby lately
And your parents got new jobs
It’s getting darker, so I turned you down
But I can’t turn you off, oh-oh

[Chorus]
As long as I live, I’ll remember the names
Of your favorite beers and your video games

The look on your face when you turned twenty-six
And your dad got too stoned, yeah, that one’s gonna stick
You broke me to pieces, but I root for you
Even though everything went up in flames
I’ll never forget how I bloomed for your gaze
Or your wall of guitars, or your video games
Or your video games

[Post-Chorus]
Or your video games

[Bridge]
At least I’m treading water and not about to drown
I’m not trying to find you, babe, you’re just around
Everything reminds me of you, even now
Even now, even now

[Outro]
As long as I live, I’ll remember the names
Of your favorite beers and your video games
The fire in my gut that I’ve chased ever since
You set the bar, you’re gonna stick
