Half A Mind lyrics

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
