[Verse 1]
Speak to me (To me)
You're walking closer and it's hard to breathe (To breathe)
I should be running, but the heart's naive
And I expect too much (Too much, too much, too much)
You were good to me (To me)
I left a scar that no one else can see (Can see)
And now you're back here
And reminding me that I lost way too much
(Too much, too much, too much)

[Pre-Chorus]
Do you know that night I almost said I loved you
(Loved you, loved you, loved you)
And you almost said it back?

[Chorus]
Are we gonna be more than a memory?
No matter how lame my apology
I let go of you, you let go of me
Are we gonna be more than a memory?
Are you gonna just stand in front of me
Pretending I'm not your destiny?
I'm not over you, are you over me?
Are we gonna be more than a memory?

[Post-Chorus]
I'm not over you, are you over me?
Are we gonna be more than a memory?
(Memory, memory, memory)

[Verse 2]
Say my name (My name)
'Cause no one else can say it quite the same (The same)
It takes me back to your September days
I've missed you way too much (Too much, too much, too much)
If I was cruel to you
Well, just to hear it, breaks my heart in two (In two)
If there's a way to make it up to you
I wanna change so much, you know I do

[Pre-Chorus]
And know that night I almost said I loved you
(Loved you, loved you, loved you)
And you almost said it back?

[Chorus]
Are we gonna be more than a memory?
No matter how lame my apology
I let go of you, you let go of me
Are we gonna be more than a memory?
Are you gonna just stand in front of me
Pretending I'm not your destiny?
I'm not over you, are you over me?
Are we gonna be more than a memory?

[Bridge]
Stay with me
I really need to hear you breathe
If words can't speak, lay your body next to me

[Chorus]
Are we gonna be more than a memory? (More than a memory)
No matter how lame my apology (Lame my apology)
I let go of you, you let go of me
Are we gonna be more than a memory?
Are you gonna just stand in front of me (Stand in front of me)
Pretending I'm not your destiny? (Not your destiny)
I'm not over you, are you over me?
Are we gonna be more than a memory?

[Outro]
More than a memory
Lame my apology
I'm not over you, are you over me?
Are we gonna be more than a memory?

Carly Rae Jepsen

Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Born in 1985, she first came to fame by finishing in third place on the TV show Canadian Idol. Shortly afterwards, she released her debut album, Tug Of War, including the Canadian top 40 singles “Tug Of War” and “Bucket.”

Three years later, she released the single “Call Me Maybe” and planned to follow it with what would have been her second album, Curiosity. However, after the song caught the ear of fellow Canadian, Justin Bieber, he referred her to his manager, Scooter Braun, which led to her signing an international deal with Interscope Records. Before long, it became one of 2012’s most enduring hits, racking up over a billion YouTube views and topping the charts in 21 countries, including the US and Canada. The aforementioned Curiosity album was cut down to EP length, and work continued on her eventual sophomore LP, Kiss. Released in September 2012, it also featured the Owl City collaboration “Good Time”, which reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Jepsen returned in March 2015 with “I Really Like You,” the lead single from her third studio album. The song received a more muted reception than her breakout hit–although it did reach #2 in the United Kingdom–and consequently, the album, E•MO•TION, failed to make a substantial impact chartwise. Despite this, the album drew in a new wave of fans with its more experimental and mature sound; such was the amount of praise among both the public and critics that a follow-up EP of album outtakes–E•MO• Side B–was released on the album’s first anniversary.
