You Can't Put Your Arms Round A Memory Lyrics


Billie Joe Armstrong You Can't Put Your Arms Round A Memory

[Verse 1]
It doesn't pay to try, all the smart boys know why
It doesn't mean I didn't try, I just never know why
Feel so cold and all alone, baby, you're still not at home
And when I'm home, big deal, I'm still alone

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Feel so restless, I am, beat my head against a pole
Try to knock some sense down in my bones
And even though they don't show, the scars aren't so old
And when they go, they let you know
[Chorus]
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try, don't try

[Verse 3]
You're just a bastard kid, and you got no name
'Cause you're living with me, we're one and the same
And even though they don't show, the scars aren't so old
And when they go, they let you know

[Chorus]
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try, don't try
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
You can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try, don't try
