See how the chips fall where they may   How my lips sink ships, drift astray   How I've mised you, I've been a bad boy   But seventeen, it takes forever and me   I was already on fire, dreaming wth angels      Remember every little thing   You've got to remember every little thing      My child, there, I know   I'm coming to get you, but oh   I'm running so slow, like a dream   And the dawn it is quickening   My friends, they all thought   I was the one who was lost   I learned that irony from the start of my life      Remember every little thing   You've got to remember every little thing      Trumpets peal   I've realized all that's real   And love is a white-golden road   I pave with my blood now   I was a fraction at best   A sad king's court jester, or less   I was a two-part invention   She was my melody      God, she was my melody
