Verve Pipe - Half A Mind Lyrics
Sometimes I wish we had a short term memory just enough to recognize each others faceIt would be the same old stories but youre hanging onto every single word I have to sayAnd to the world Im not that clever but you would stay with me foreverId keep your friends from reminding, reminding you toSave yourself, leave me behind you would if you had half a mindId tell you every days your birthday and every gift I bring could be the sameOr how I stood beside you at a shotgun wedding and the child we once would love but never cameHearing stories that were never you would stay with me foreverBut Id forget to make money and youd forget toSave 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 foreverAnd so you write on your forehead, or better yet you engraveSo when you look in the mirror, well you wont forget toSave 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
