Remind Yourself
Remind yourself of the little signs
And the small asides playing on your mind
Shift of air, the turn of phrase
Obsession to averted gaze
Remind yourself how the field is wide
And the eye takes more than it sweeps aside
Choose to keep or select the shelf
Is a tender lie, remind yourself
Remind yourself as the moon shifts overhead
That roll it does, roll it does
And the drum beat in your chest
It becomes a pulse, it becomes
Remind yourself of a wiser day
When you let them come
But wouldn't let them stay
Gave them hope and forgot your own
Took your head to town
And your body home
When you told yourself
That you couldn't have
And you wouldn't feel
And it wasn't bad
When you know the truth matters
Nothing less they will lie to you
Remind yourself
Remind yourself as the moon shifts overhead
That roll it does, roll it does
And the drum beat in your chest
It becomes a pulse, becomes
As the moon shifts overhead
Roll it does, roll
Remind yourself
When you say goodbye
They'll forget today
And forget the tie
And somebody else is gonna fill the cup
That they say no one but you filled up
Remind yourself the heart that pleads
Very soon takes care of its own needs
The greatest love is dealt and done
Remind yourself and move along
Move along.
