Things I Should Forget

THINGS I SHOULD FORGET

The way your breathing changes when you sleep

As you're lying in my bed with me through the night

And the feeling of your skin on mine

When you hold onto me from behind, hold me tight

All these things rolling around my head

Are the things I can't forget about you

How the scent of your perfume fills the air

With your head on my shoulder and your hair in my face

The bitter sweetness on my tongue

That lingers long after we're done, I can still taste

All these things burning in my chest

Are the things I should forget about you

There's a gentle tone of voice you use

When the moment's right and you choose certain words

Every time that you and I make love

And the heat turns on and you open up your world

All these things that take my breath

Are the things I can't forget about you

When she calls me baby

She says baby, look in my eyes

Every movement I see says she wants me

She's telling me it's time, she says that it's mine

When you need some care and your faith is gone

And the only place you feel safe to run is to me

When you can't control the things you do

And the whole world knows I belong to you in all ways

All these things I should forget

Are the things I can not let fade away
