The Verve Pipe Lyrics
"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
