Lyrics

I just saw your friend and he told me
To forget your haircut and forget your shoes
He told me all the things I ought to forget
And I forgot them all except for you
Now in the corridor a light comes on where no light should be
And I hear you shout "Turn around"
And now the light goes out
I lick down the stamp with the tongue that used to say your name
When I know you heard
And I send another birthday card
And I remember how hard it is to write that word
On the corner by the red post box
The way the pavement rocks and I can't get near
Maybe try again next year
So forgetful
I just saw your friend and he asked me when your birthday was
And I told him lies
He seemed so happy when he walked away
And I smiled for you and his big surprise
Now in the living room a light goes out and the candles shake
On your birthday cake
Take a breath and then you're blown away
So forgetful
