Sometimes i wish we had a short term memory just enough to recognize each other's face |
|
It would be the same old stories but you're hanging onto every single word i have to say |
|
And to the world i'm not that clever but you would stay with me forever |
|
I'd keep your friends from reminding, reminding you to |
|
Save yourself, leave me behind you would if you had half a mind |
|
I'd tell you every day's your birthday and every gift i bring could be the same |
|
Or how i stood beside you at a shotgun wedding and the child we once would love but never came |
|
Hearing stories that were never you would stay with me forever |
|
But i'd forget to make money and you'd forget to |
|
Save yourself, leave me behind you would if you had half a mind (how vulnerable you are) |
|
Write a note to remind you you would if you had half a mind (how effortless to stay together) |
|
For these ties you may have severed now you'll stay with me forever |
|
And so you write on your forehead, or better yet you engrave |
|
So when you look in the mirror, well you won't forget to |
|
Save yourself, leave me behind you would if you had half a mind (how vulnerable you are) |
|
Write a note to remind you you would if you had half a mind (how effortless to stay together) |
|
If we had no memory whatsoever we would stay right here forever |
