Over the Rhine - What I'll Remember Most Lyrics

The saddest songs are the happiest
The hardest truths are the easiest
Put yourself to the test and tell me if you still need me
And I will swallow these words and see if I can still believe

The biggest lies are the little ones
When the look in your eyes is the distant one
Angel or demon, you know that they can share the same bed
I've laid awake so long, I've got them both inside my head

This is what I'll remember most about dying
So many moments like ghosts slipping through my hands in vain

You were 80% angel, 10% demon, the rest was hard to explain
This American dream may be poisonous, violence is contagious
Crowded or empty, I walk these city streets alone
Whoever brought me here is gonna have to take me home

This is what I'll remember most about dying
Loading these moments like a gun hoping to kill the pain

You were 80% angel, 10% demon, the rest was hard to explain

This is what I'll remember most about dying
So many moments like ghosts slipping through my hands in vain

You were 80% angel, 10% demon, the rest was hard to explain
You were 80% angel, 10% demon, the rest was hard to explain
