Right Now

You used to quote Galileo to me in the room
Where you kept all your books and the pictures of the moon
And even though I knew it was never gonna last
Some things are better like that, mmm
I think about that moment with your dad in the fall
You never missed a beat and he loved to show you off
I didn't know then that his time was so short
Some things we shouldn't ignore, mmm

Like the cracks in the earth in your eyes when you hurt
How the boards in the floor left a crease in your shirt
That's how I remember you right now
Like the fog on the street, how it made me feel
When you worked 'til you crashed with your hands on the wheel
That's how I remember you right now, mmm

Somewhere in the walls of your second story flat
I hid a love letter that I can't get back
With a picture of your dad and a word on a key
"I hope you remember me"

Like the cracks in the earth in your eyes when you hurt
How the boards in the floor left a crease in your shirt
That's how I remember you right now
Like the fog on the street, how it made me feel
When you worked 'til you crashed with your hands on the wheel
That's how I remember you right now, mmm

I know I shouldn't pull the thread on the sweater that I'm wearing
That I can't help but unravel
My heart, it gets the best of me
You said you'd never fall in love in the dead of the winter
That's how I remember you right now, right now
