If we lived time backwards my tears would suddenly stop
And our low story would end at the top
Your ratty red sweater and my old faded black jeans
Pull their seams together and exhale the weather
As they forget seasons they seen
At first I would be sick of you
And your heart would shrink
At the sight of me…but
Every day forgetting gets much easier
All those tired habits wake up new
As you forget to know me
And I forget to know you
If time worked backwards this rain would turn into steam
And we’d soon settle into routine
The bottles I shattered fly from the floor to my hand
The same fist that shouted your bloodletting pleasure
Kisses my bruises away again
At first we would cry hopeless
But hope always returns
That’s how we unlearn
Every day forgetting gets much easier
Slowly drifting further towards you
As you forget to know me
And I forget to know you
I enfold you tightly – your family gathers all around
The tears run home to your eyes
And your daddy would spring from the ground
The bleak depression that miscarried us away
Now keeps the baby alive in your belly
And I would find more and more comforts to say
At first the pain is raw yellow bone
But scars can make amends
Rewinding from the end
Every day forgetting gets much easier
Sunshine of the spotless mind, we two
As you forget to know me
And I forget to know you
Every day forgetting gets much easier
Every day forgetting da-da-daa
Every day da-da-da…
