[Intro] [Instrumental] [Vinyl Crackle] [Rhodes Piano] [Verse 1] [Baritone Vocal] You were the one who beat me to the good one, Packard Bell, someone else's dust, We counted what was left inside them, Rivals over what nobody wanted, Mrs. Gonzalez sat us at one desk, Said figure it out between you, Somewhere in there I stopped keeping score, [Pre-Chorus] [Baritone Vocal] I stopped pretending to pray, I think about you... each day, I ask God why, But He never answers, [Chorus] [Baritone Vocal] I don't remember... your number anymore, It keeps haunting me late at night, But I remember what you said, I remember what you said... [Post-Chorus] [Instrumental] [Rhodes Piano] [Vinyl Crackle] [Verse 2] [Baritone Vocal] I called your home from Florida, Said the thing I'd been rehearsing, You didn't pause, You said it's okay, God loves you no matter what, [Break] [Instrumental] [Dusty Drum Break] [Deep Sub Bass] [Pre-Chorus] [Baritone Vocal] I stopped pretending to pray, I think about you... each day, I ask God why, But He never answers, [Chorus] [Baritone Vocal] I don't remember... your number anymore, It keeps haunting me late at night, But I remember what you said, I remember what you said... [Post-Chorus] [Instrumental] [Rhodes Piano] [Vinyl Crackle] [Verse 3] [Baritone Vocal] Back in Colorado, every couple months, You had the whole basement, all the room to build, I had a corner and whatever I could find, You wanted my Nintendo, So I gave you all of it, every game, You pawned your own things to pay me fair, Two hundred dollars, and I bought a Dreamcast, [Pre-Chorus] [Baritone Vocal] I stopped pretending to pray, I think about you... each day, I ask God why, But He never answers, [Final Chorus] [Baritone Vocal] I don't remember... your number anymore, It keeps haunting me late at night, But I remember what you said, I remember what you said... [Outro] [Spoken] [Whisper] [Dry] Twenty one years have passed me by, I searched for photos of you, But they're in a photo album in storage, I called your sister, She and I are different people now, Fractures of who we once were, God loves you, No matter what, I say it back to you... Michael. Michael. [Restrained] [Pause] Michael...
