Half A Mind 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
