lyrics

Words clumped on small paper Highlight our common past Events I don't remember Memories all meant to last

Skimming through these lines One thing becomes clear You took my old advice Then wrote back, without fear

Holding proof of my own courage A tale of men and mice I just wish I still remembered My very own advice

Did some blue ink get spilled? Did some parts get crossed through? I wish I still remembered The words I gave to you

We had our ups and downs I left certain scenes out I saw you when you'd rather No one was about

Some of our talks I miss Others I'd rather skip I left some things unsaid That could've hurt so deep

Holding proof of my own courage A tale of men and mice I just wish I still remembered My very own advice

Did some blue ink get spilled? Did some parts get crossed through? I wish I still remembered The words I gave to you

At first I planned it carefully Swimming deeper than I could But that just made me gasp and flail For once broke me for good

Soon I reshaped this addiction Calmed ideas out of line And simply let go all the thoughts That some day you'll be mine

A rather simple change of heart Single twist in the symphony An adventurer who skips the quest A priest who accepts blasphemy

Holding proof of my own courage A tale of men and mice I just wish I still remembered My very own advice

Did some blue ink get spilled? Did some parts get crossed through? I wish I still remembered The words I gave to you

I wish I still remembered The words I gave to you
