When I Forget

I can't remember the things that we said
I can't remember the things that we did
I can't remember the places we've been
I can't remember at all

I can't remember the table of elements
I can't remember what caused all the elephants
In my room inbetween me and you
Or the songs we used to sing

I can't remember the way that you smelled
I can't remember the way that you felt
Under my fingers so soft and so sweet
Those are the things that I think you would be

I don't know what I'm supposed to do
I don't know what else I could lose
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
What I'm supposed to do without you
Without you

I can't remember the sound of your voice
Can't pick it out in a room full of noise
I can't remember the girls or the boys
That I met at my first show

I can't remember the girl from three years ago
I can't remember how it felt to feel so low
And so high with you by my side
Or the posters on my wall

I can't remember the shade of your eyes
I can't remember the earth or the sky
Over my head and just under my feet
Aren't these the places that those things should be?

I don't know what I'm supposed to do
I don't know what else I could lose
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
What I'm supposed to do without you
Without you

Now I'm back home and how could I forget
The swing on your porch where we smoke cigarettes
Now I remember your lipstick, it's red
Now I remember it all

Now I'm with you swallowing my nostalgia
There's so much that I couldn't say when I called ya
Mainly that I'm scared I'm gonna forget
But please don't let me do that yet

It's not weird at all hahaha and thank you so much! I'm glad it invoked the kind of feeling I was going for

your welcome. I love to sit to the window side on the train or any vehicle maybe that's why I thought of it because that's usually the time when I think most. But anyway Keep up the good work :)
