Billie Joe Armstrong Lyrics - You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory

Billie Joe Armstrong - You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory

It doesn't pay to try
All the smart boys know why
Doesn't mean I didn't try
I'll 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

Feel so restless, I am
Beat my head against the pole
Try and knock some sense
Down in my bones
Even though they don't show
The scars aren't so old
And when they go
They let you know

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

Just a bastard kid
And you got no name
'Cause you're living with me and
We're one in the same
Even though they don't show
The scars aren't so old
And when they go
They let you know

Okay, 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
