Will You Remember Me

[Verse 1]
I signed my name on the back of a photograph
Tucked it beneath the receipts in your kitchen drawer
The years kept moving like traffic past the glass
And I kept asking what any of it mattered for

I learned the shape of a crowded room
How to disappear while standing in view
Every joke I made became afternoon
Every promise faded before it came true

[Pre-Chorus]
If I stop calling, will the silence close?
If I leave this town, what remains to show?

[Chorus]
Will you remember me when the details go?
When my face turns faint in the afterglow?
I don't need a statue, I don't need a name
Just one small proof I was here when I came
Will you remember me, remember me?
Or will I vanish clean?

[Verse 2]
I found an old receipt with a date from July
For a train we missed and a lunch we never ate
Your handwriting leaned like it wanted to fly
Mine looked small at the bottom, asking you to wait

Now the people I loved have new locks on their doors
New routines, new friends, new stories to tell
I keep rehearsing the sound of before
Like a match in a room where the oxygen fell

[Pre-Chorus]
If the years erase the roads we chose
Does a buried word still know who it knows?

[Chorus]
Will you remember me when the details go?
When my face turns faint in the afterglow?
I don't need a statue, I don't need a name
Just one small proof I was here when I came
Will you remember me, remember me?
Or will I vanish clean?

[Breakdown]
Say it once—my name
Say it twice—don't let it change
If the room goes quiet, if the calendar bends
Tell me I was more than a temporary friend

[Bridge]
Maybe being remembered isn't carved in stone
Maybe it's the way you turn when you hear my old joke
Maybe it's a scar in the grain of your home
A borrowed phrase that survives in your throat

[Instrumental]

[Final Chorus]
Will you remember me when the details go?
When my face turns faint in the afterglow?
I don't need a statue, I don't need a name
Just one small proof I was here when I came
Will you remember me, remember me?
Hold the line, don't let me leave
Will you remember me, remember me?
Even if the world forgets me

[Outro]
Keep one photograph facedown in a drawer
Keep one unfinished sentence by the door
If you say my name when nobody knows
I'll be there in the answer, wherever it goes
