Welcome to Brighter Days Inc., thank you for joining us as we celebrate over 80 years of service to our community; when we first started our journey, we had the sole mission of relieving people from painful memories that might be harming them or keeping them from moving on and living a joyous life.

Peaches? Is there a Peaches here?
Of course you are. We're ready for you!
It's gonna be okay, sweetie. Just lay back, it'll all be fine
Stand by for biometric identification
Access granted. Welcome back, Peaches
Okay, it says you have four memories left. Which one would you like to watch?
Okay, it's all setup for you. Just press this button for each one you want to watch and I'll be in the other room if you need anything, alright?
Now playing memory one
Uh
How can I tell if I'm in the right relationship?
Aren't you really s'posed to know that shit?
Feel it in your bones and own that shit? I don't know
Then I had this interaction I've been thinkin' 'bout for like five weeks
Wonder if he's thinkin' 'bout it too and smiling
Wonder if he knows that that's been what's inspirin' me
Wonder if he's judgin' me like I am right now
I don't care
I'd rather tell the truth (Truth)
Than make it worse for you, mm (You)
If the sun refused to shine
Baby, would I still be your lover?
Would you want me there?
If the moon went dark tonight
And if it all ended tomorrow
Would I be the one on your mind, your mind, your mind?
And if it all ended tomorrow
Would you be the one on mine?
Memory one, destroyed. Please select the next memory
Now playing memory two
Won't break, can't shake
This fate, rewrite
Deep breaths, tight chest
Life, death, rewind

Won't (Won't) break (Won't), can't (Can't) shake (Shake)
This (This) fate (Fate), rewrite
Deep (Deep) breaths (Breaths), tight (Tight) chest (Chest)
Life (Life), death
I'll be the first to say, "I'm sorry"
Now you got me feelin' sorry
I showed you all my demons, all my lies
Yet you played me like Atari
Now it's like I'm lookin' in the mirror (Won't break, can't shake)
Hope you feel alright when you're in her (This fate, rewrite)
I found a good boy and he's on my side (Deep breaths, tight chest)
You're just my eternal sunshine, sunshine (Life, death, rewind)

Mean what I say, say what I mean
Not one to play, I am as you see
I give my word
These other boys, they're one in the same, mm
I'm tryna say, I want you to stay, mm
I got (Got) what you need (You need)
I'm thinking you should plant this seed
I get this sounds unserious (Mm)
But, baby boy, this is serious
And, yes, I promise
If I'm being honest
You can get anything you'd like
Can't you see? I bloom at night
Boy, just don't blow this
Got me like, "What's your wish list?"
You can get anything you'd like
I'll be your dandelion, mm-mm
Memory two, destroyed. Please select the next memory
Now playing memory three
Did I dream the whole thing?
Was I just a nightmare?
Different dimensions
Stuck in the twilight zone
Is this a black-and-white scene?
If so, then I'm in the gray one
Hope you win for best actor
'Cause I had you completely wrong
Does she know you're not who you say you are?
'Cause I might give her a call
Or was I just not me at all?
And it's not like I'm still not over you
It's so strange, this I never do
Not that I miss you, I don't
Sometimes, I just can't believe
You happened
It's not like I'd ever change a thing
'Cause I'm right here where I'm meant to be
Not that I'd call you, I won't
Sometimes, I just can't believe
You happened
(Not) It's not (Like) like (I'm) I'm over you
It's so (So) strange (I don't miss you)
Not that I miss you, I don't
Sometimes, I just can't believe (Can't believe)
(You) You happened
Don't want nobody else around me
Just need you right here
You're like the only thing that I see
It's crystal-clear, and I
I want you to come claim it, I do
What are you waiting for?
Yeah, I want you to name it, I do
Want you to make it yours
It's like supernatural
This love's possessin' me, but I don't mind at all
It's like supernatural
It's takin' over me, don't wanna fight the fall
It's like supernatural
(This love's possessin' me, but I don't mind at all) Mm
It's like supernatural (Oh)
(This love's possessin' me, but I don't mind at all) Mm
Need your hands all up on my body
Like the moon needs the stars (Like the moon needs the stars)
Nothin' else felt this way inside me
Boy, let's go too far
I want you to come claim it, I do
What are you waiting for? (Ooh)
Yeah, I want you to name it, I do
Want you to make it yours
It's like supernatural
This love's possessin' me, but I don't mind at all
It's like supernatural
It's takin' over me, don't wanna fight the fall
It's like supernatural
(This love's possessin' me, but I don't mind at all) No, I don't even mind at all, mm
It's like supernatural
(This love's possessin' me, but I don't mind at all) No, I don't even mind at all
Yeah (Yeah), mm
I want you to come claim it, I do (Do)
(I do, I do, do)
You to come name it, I do (Do)
This love's possessin' me, but I don't mind at all
It's like supernatural
It's takin' over me, don't wanna fight the fall
It's like supernatural
(This love's possessin' me, but I don't mind at all) No, I don't even mind at all, mm
It's like supernatural (Ooh)
(This love's possessin' me, but I don't mind at all) No, I don't even mind at all
It's like supernatural
Memory three, destroyed. You have one memory remaining
I left my heart at a pub in Hampstead
And I misplaced my mind in a good way
Threw away my reputation, but saved us more heartache
Yes, I know it seems fucked up, and you're right
But quite frankly, you're still wrong about everything
So far off, your seat's nowhere near the table
But I find something sweet in your peculiar behavior
'Cause I think to be so dumb must be nice
I do, I do, I do, I do
What makes you think you're even invited?
The doors are closed with lights off inside, and all the while
There's no one home, you're still outside
I wonder why
What's wrong with a little bit of poison? Tell me
I would rather feel everything than nothing every time
Uh-uh, fear me, stranger
A little bit of sugar, danger
I'd rather be seen and alive than dying by your point of view
I do, I do, I do, I do
I don't remember too much of the last year
But I knew who I was when I got here
'Cause I'm still the same but only entirely diff—
And my lover's just some lines in some songs
(Mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm)
You think you've read the book I'm still writing
I can't imagine wanting so badly to be right
Guess I'm forever on your mind
I wonder why
What's wrong with a little bit of poison? Tell me (Tell me)
I would rather feel everything than nothing every time (Every, every time)
Uh-uh, fear me, stranger (Stranger)
A little bit of sugar (Sugar), danger (Danger)
I'd rather be seen and alive than dying by your point of view
Rather be swimming with you than drowning in a crowded room
I do, I do, I do, I do
Memory four, destroyed. Your session is now complete
You know, someone has said that we should live each day as if it were the last day of our life. Ah, "This is the last day! Help me, help me! This is the last day, ah, I only have twenty four hours left, ah!"
[End Credits: "we can't be friends (wait for your love) [acoustic (live from jungle city studios)"]]
I didn't think you'd understand me
How could you ever even try?
'Cause I don't wanna tiptoe, but I don't wanna hide
But I don't wanna feed this monstrous fire
Just wanna let this story die
And I'll be alright
Said, "We can't be friends
But I'd like to just pre-etend
You cling to your papers and pens
Wait until you like me again"
Wait for your love
Lo-love, I'll wait for your love, babe, mm
Said, "Me and my truth, we sit in silence"
Mm
Baby girl, it's just me and you
'Cause I don't wanna argue, but I don't wanna bite
My tongue, yeah, I think I'd rather die
You got me misunderstood
But at least I look this good
Said, "We can't be friends
But I'd like to just pretend
You cling to your papers and pens
Wait until you like me again"
Wait for your love
Lo-love, I'll wait for your love, babe
I'll wait for your love
Lo-love, wait for your love
I know that you made me
I don't like how you paint me, yet I'm still here hanging
Not what you made me
It's somethin' like a daydream
But I feel so seen in the night
So for now, it's only me
And maybe that's all I need
We can't be friends
But I'd like to just pretend
You cling to your papers and pens
Wait until you like me again
Wait for your love
Lo-love, I'll wait for your love, baby, mm
I'll wait for your love
Lo-love, wait for your love, mm
Bye, bye!
