We Forgot the Words
I've got the faintest memories of when I was a young boy and my dad dropped something heavy on my head
And such a simple situation taught me to look up to my father
And be more aware of my surroundings, but now I realise what he meant
And he said, the world is out to get you, just make sure you do your best and be prepared
Do your best and be prepared
It's important to take note
Of how the dust sits in your throat, if you ever wanna stop yourself from choking on the air
The girl you think you've always loved, she doesn't know that you exist yet
And now she's married to a banking man who's got a fuller head of hair
And if the movies taught us anything it's that a happy ending is just a few more scenes away
It's just a few more scenes away
We are the crossed off tees
We are the dotted i's
We are the subject of some sick and twisted lullaby's
We are the writers of the love song
And we forgot the words
'Cause we forgot the words
'Cause we forgot the words again
It seems there's cause to be concerned
The fire's lit, the wood is burning
But there's nobody around to take control
We're all distracted, we've got busy lives and a lot of other bad excuses so we punch the silver too much longer
Because it feels like we're getting old
Before we have a chance to blink, we'll watch the padded burn before our eyes
It'll burn before our eyes
And from the ashes we will realise just how ridiculous the world could be, before Armageddon put us back into our place
It's time to reassess perspective, if something's valued, we should protect it and then one day we'll all sit down at breakfast
And we'll laugh at our mistakes
We need to make a bold decision to let go and throw caution to the wind
Throw caution to the wind
We are the crossed off tees
We are the dotted i's
We are the subject of some sick and twisted lullaby's
We are the writers of the love song
And we forgot the words
'Cause we forgot the words
We forgot the fucking words again
'Cause we forgot the words
'Cause we forgot the words again
