Remember This

Grey Eye Glances

as for the time we lost

and as for the words

I fear I never said enough

I watched as the night moved fast

and years simply changed

and endings let a calm begin

 

try to remember this

as your mind races away

try to remember this

we were taught to be amazed

and now we're on our own

 

come with me, and carry on

I always hoped we'd grow this strong

to find a place, to stop and be alone

 

looking out on the park, last night

the snow in the street lamps

fell for hours but left no trace

I turned down the lights

I turned down the blinds

and waited as I tried to sleep

 

try to remember this

when your world soon comes undone

try to remember this

with each setting of the sun

we forget some things we own

we forget some things we own

 

come with me, and carry on

we'll drive an hour just north of town

where you and I can stop and be alone

where you can I can stop

 

I opened the letter

you left on the table

"please come to find me, when you're able"

 

remember this

as your mind races away

try to remember this

we were always so amazed

remember this

when your world soon comes undone

try to remember this

with each setting of the sun

 

we forget some things we own

we forget some things we own

 

remember this

remember this

remember this

 

we forget some things we own

we forget some things we own
