about

... Now awake for the day, consider this "a shower song" with is upbeat tempo and driving guitars. Toying with the idea that love can drive a person crazy, we come to terms with the fact that our memories will not wash away so easy and are left to find a way to cope...

lyrics

Well I've got this passport photo
of a handsome young man
and some dead rose petals in a little tin can.
And I was dying to meet him. I was already there!
In my head! In my head! Oh it's just not fair.

Cause these are memories I should forget.
And the things that are killing me just haven't yet.
And I'll save my sympathies and my regrets
And I'll take them all with me, to my death.

It's all just one big smudge cause your touch has blurred all the lines.
And I can't wait for your love cause you're just gonna waste my time.
And I'm not the type to sit around and say "we'll wait and see..."
cause I'll drive myself completely mad with all these memories.

These memories I should forget!
These memories I should forget!
These memories I should forget!
These memories!

Well I've got this sweater in my bureaux.
It belongs to a man,
who I think I'm in love with
but he'd rather be my friend.
And I'm just dying to see him. Like I'm already there!
In my head! In my head! Oh it's just not fair.

Cause these are memories I should forget.
And the things that are killing me just haven't yet.
And I'll save my sympathies and my regrets
And I'll take them all with me, to my death.

It's all just one big smudge cause your touch has blurred all the lines.
And I can't wait for your love cause you're just gonna waste my time.
And I'm not the type to sit around and say "we'll wait and see..."
cause I'll drive myself completely mad with all this shit.
