Текст песни Verve Pipe, The - half a mind

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
