Half A Mind Lyrics - Singles - Verve Pipe

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 

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 both would love but never came 

Hearing stories that were never 

You would stay with me forever 

But I'd forget to make money 

You'd forget to 

Save yourself, leave me behind 

You would if you had half a mind 

How vulnerable you are 

Rob this house and leave me blind 

You would if you had half a mind 

How effortless to stay together 

For these ties you may have severed 

Now you'll stay right here forever 

And so you write on your forehead 

Or better yet you engrave 

So when you look in the mirror 

Well, you don't forget to 

Save yourself, leave me behind 

You would if you had half a mind 

How vulnerable you are 

Rob this house and leave me blind 

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 

You just stay forever 

You just stay forever
