Chapter 6 - How to Forget

If only I'd remember
how to forget.
If only you'd recall
anything at all
about us.

If only I'd stay sane
every time I heard that name.
If only I could drop the act
and realize
you won't come back.


The yellow lines
mix in the pavement.
The treetops
stand still.
The sunset, the evening sky,
they'll never hold me back
when my thoughts begin to spill.

No matter how hard you work,
you'll never touch the blue.
No matter how many times you try,
you'll never make it through.
No matter how many stop signs I see,
the only one who will think of you is me.

If only I'd remember
how to forget.
If only you'd recall
anything at all
about us.

If only I'd stay sane
every time I heard that name.
If only I could drop the act
and realize
you won't come back.


The memories,
the blueprints--
our promises
set in stone.
The sunset, the evening sky,
You never know how empty
you can feel til you're alone.

No matter how long it's been,
you'll never see them again.
No matter how many clouds will blow by,
you'll only be just a friend.
No matter how many stop signs I see,
the only one who will think of you is me.

If only I'd remember
how to forget.
If only you'd recall
anything at all
about us.

If only I'd stay sane
every time I heard that name.
If only I could drop the act
and realize

If only I'd grow up,
put aside my hopes and dreams.
Look up ahead
at the mountains and the seas--
Do you realize
the different cannot be
one big happy family?

If only I'd remember
how to forget.
If only I'd recall
anything at all
about you.

If only I'd stay pure,
follow my own path.
If only I'd recall
anything at all
about her.

If only I'd take the blame,
forgetting your misdeeds.
If only I'd recall
anything at all
about this game.

If only, if only, if only, this and that.
If only, if only, if only...
you'd come back.
