lyrics

songs to forget

its been a hard night
one of the longest we've seen
our eyes they're all wide
from both saying things we don't mean
we've tried and we've tried
we pushed comfort aside
just to dream
with arms open wide
all shattered inside it would seem

we could drive along the seaside
we could sleep under the stars
we could make believe some stories
to make us feel better
or we could just sing some songs
to make us forget

i thought that i knew
what i wanted from you
but i don't
you thought that you knew too
and if you don't know by now
then you won't
maybe it's a cheap shot to say
when the skin has pulled away from the bone
with arms open wide
all shattered inside all alone

we could drive along the seaside
we could sleep under the stars
we could make believe some stories
to make us feel better
or we could just sing some songs
to make us forget

it's been a long year
and i don't want to live here anymore
the people they're all wierd
and the circles only come with locked doors
i know exactly why we came
but it don't mean the same thing no more
with arms by my side
all shattered inside by the door

we could drive along the seaside
we could sleep under the stars
we could make believe some stories
to make us feel better
or we could just sing some songs
to make us forget
