Before I Forget

It’s keys under stones
Post-it notes in the hall
Turning off lights and sockets
Phones in your pocket, if you need to call

It’s blowing out candles, not even lighting them at all
It’s maps and instructions
All of the above and so much more

I remember you
Driving home drunk in the 80s
Never ever wanting to smoke
Messing photograph’s up pulling faces
Telling jokes

Yeah, you had Springsteen playing way too loud
Starting bands in the back seat, windows down
Your generation never say it out loud
But before I forget, I love you

Last one to leave our parties
Calling cabs for you
Making friends with my friends
In hindsight, guess it’s cool
We’ve gone nearly all our lives, oh dancing round the truth
Don’t they say life is what you don’t do
Like you never get to Kathmandu
Maybe I’ll go for you
We’ll keep dancing around the truth

I remember you
Driving home drunk in the 80s
Never ever wanting to smoke
Messing photograph’s up pulling faces
Telling jokes

Yeah, you had Springsteen playing way too loud
Starting bands in the back seat, windows down
Your generation never say it out loud
But before I forget, I love you

Before I forget, I love you
Before you forget, you love me too
Before I forget, I love you
And before you forget, you love me too

Let’s look out on an ocean
Cast off what we regret
Stand still in a moment
Be sure the things we wanna say get said
Head on back up to the house and watch the sunset
