Sometimes I wish we had a short term memory just enough to recognize each others face

It would be the same old stories but youre hanging onto every single word I have to say

And to the world Im not that clever but you would stay with me forever

Id keep your friends from reminding, reminding you to

Save yourself, leave me behind you would if you had half a mind

Id tell you every days 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 Id forget to make money and youd 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 youll 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 wont 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
