Tapes You Leave Behind Video (MV)

When you tell the story of your life
What memories will you keep
And what will you erase
You build it piece by piece
Your reckless days in college
Your blushing bride-to-be
The victories and losses
The reasons you can't sleep
If you need a witness, I've got stories I could tell
Please just keep me in the footnotes. Promise that you will
Please remember to mention me
In tapes you leave behind
Please remember I treated you kind
Keep me in mind
You and Michael took the overnight from Philly
Slept on benches at the station
Woke with lines across your skin
I remember getting every little message
Felt peripheral at best and
Sunk a little further in
If you need a witness, I've got stories I could tell
Please just keep me in the footnotes. Promise that you will
Please remember to mention me
In tapes you leave behind
Please remember I treated you kind
Keep me in mind
New years off the overpass
The way they looked at you
Just to be there was an honor
Just to watch the way you bloomed
Please remember to mention me
In tapes you leave behind
Please remember I treated you kind
Keep me in mind
When you tell the story of your life
What memories will you keep
In tapes you leave behind
Please remember me
