♪ If I could buy a house on Memory Lane ♪

♪ I'd put my money down and I'd sign my name ♪

♪ On that little corner lot where it don't ever rain ♪

♪ And we'd stay good as new like a fresh coat of paint ♪

♪ You'd be mine in the shine of a front porch light ♪

♪ Yeah, I might as well live there, baby ♪

♪ That's where I spend most of my time ♪

♪ Thinkin' 'bout those sunsets that bled into jean jacket nights ♪

♪ Those tangled up mornings lost in paradise ♪

♪ Still drunk on the feeling when I close my eyes ♪

♪ You're pulling me closer, your head on my shoulder ♪

♪ We'd never let go and we'd never be over ♪

♪ If I could buy a house on Memory Lane ♪

♪ I wouldn't have to wonder if you missed me the same ♪

♪ I'd be loving you as usual, telling you you're beautiful ♪

♪ Oh, I'd be happily delusional ♪

♪ Thinkin' 'bout those sunsets that bled into jean jacket nights ♪

♪ Those tangled up mornings lost in paradise ♪

♪ Still drunk on the feeling when I close my eyes ♪

♪ You're pulling me closer, your head on my shoulder ♪

♪ We'd never let go and we'd never be over ♪
