The Chain Gang Of 1974 – Forget lyrics

You did a dance in the moonlight
My smile lit by the fireflies
Once again, my face is feeling cold
The memory of the headlights
Shimmering your floral design
I guess I’m just a stupid boy
Oh, the winter skies
Provide the cinematic view I try to hide
I want to heal tonight

Why do I keep forgetting to forget you?
I’m in your blood stream, you can’t desert me
I need to know what to do just to get through
We can’t be lonely, these beds are burning

Sitting high on a street light
We were young, we would hold tight
After time, I knew you weren’t mine
Seven years that have gone by
I’m still alone with nothing but time
I am so tired from seeing you
All the whispers keep the light away
From growing up and what is mine
I want to heal tonight, tonight

Why do I keep forgetting to forget you?
I’m in your blood stream, you can’t desert me
I need to know what to do just to get through
We can’t be lonely, these beds are burning
Why do I keep forgetting to forget you?
I’m in your blood stream, you can’t desert me
Why do I keep forgetting?

Here at the end of the start of my hopelessness
I spin in the dark
Calm down, no control
As it departs on the wings of a love like this
My fear, the chemicals
Cut ties, crawl inside

Why do I keep forgetting to forget you?
Why do I keep forgetting?
Why do I keep forgetting to forget you?
Why do I keep forgetting?
