It's a way of life I could teach you
Do dead futures crowd in on your mind uninvited?
Lose some sight, go selectively blind to old pictures
Let them go, leave it behind
Oh, because she's far ahead and you're forgotten
Memory lapse and be okay
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh, because I see you caught, I see you helpless
Memory lapse and be okay
Oh future, future shining bright
Future clear this head tonight
Light up the places I select
Darken the places I reject
My head is in your hands
Don't hold the torch so long you burn your fingers off
Clutching photos and old songs
I've seen you walking half-awake
Through the ruins of what's gone
Like a vampire
Leave it behind
Oh, because she's far ahead and you're forgotten
Memory lapse and be okay
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Oh, because I see you caught, I see you helpless
Memory lapse and be okay
Oh future, future shining bright
Future clear this head tonight
And I don't remember
