“To Forget You” is the only song I’ve ever written in the very middle of a feeling. Writing, for me, usually occurs in retrospect. As if I must wait for the waves to calm before I can see my reflection in the water. But “To Forget You” I wrote in the very thick of it. I had fallen madly, hopelessly...
[Verse 1]
Looked like rain when you drove away
I was already cold
Last night seems so long ago
I can feel it in my stomach
I feel it in my bones
And now it feels like summer
What a long and lonely road
[Chorus]
And I packed my bags and I made my bed
But I don't know why I ever left you
So I learned the words and memorized the tune
But I just can't remember to forget you
To forget you
[Verse 2]
On the metro, that pretty face
Wouldn't give us the time
But I was yours and you were mine
Getting spaced and walking barefoot
On cobblestones at night
And now, I'm left with this aching
I can feel you in my spine
[Chorus]
So I packed my bags and I made my bed
But I don't know why I ever left you
So I learned the words and memorized the tune
But I just can't remember to forget you
To forget you
[Bridge]
And I miss you in the morning
And I want you bad at night
Next time, I'll heed your warning
And never leave your side
[Chorus]
So I packed my bags and I made my bed
But I don't know why I ever left you
So I wrote the words and memorized the tune
But I just can't remember to forget you
To forget you
To forget you
Oh, oh
