It's like forgetting the words to your favorite song You can't believe it You were always singing along It was so easy and the words so sweet You can't remember You try to feel the beat Eet, eet, eet, eet Eet, eet, eet, eet You spent half of your life trying to fall behind You're using your headphones to drown out your mind It was so easy, and the words so sweet You can't remember You try to move your feet Eet, eet, eet, eet Eet, eet, eet, eet Someone's deciding whether or not to steal He opens the window just to feel the chill He hears that outside a small boy just starting to cry 'Cause it's his turn but his brother won't let him try It's like forgetting the words to your favorite song You can't believe it You were always singing along It was so easy and the words so sweet You can't remember You try to move your feet It was so easy and the words so sweet You can't remember, you try to feel the beat
