Half-Forgotten Lyrics

A postcard view of a town in decline

Rust on the rails, the weathered sign

I've gotten over the way you left

I'm dressed like I just stepped out of Oklahoma

Normally I'd pause everything to remember how you would have hated this

But you're half-forgotten now

Cherry Coke on the dash, highway 45

Dusty vinyl spinning, ghost towns in my head

Like the diner neon blinking out its last

Walking through your ruins in designer heels

You're half-forgotten now

The cigarette burns slow, I loved you best

You only looked good in a past life's mind

The gas station flowers came too late

And I know I'm half-forgotten too

I may be fading fast but I'll never be fully gone

Cherry Coke on the dash, highway 45

Dusty vinyl spinning, ghost towns in my head

Like the diner neon blinking out its last

Walking through your ruins in designer heels

You're half-forgotten now

All my freedom spilling out through the crack in the bottle where your whiskey drips

In the amber haze of a truck-stop light, I'll haunt you with a smile

Half-forgotten but never unloved

Broadway sings, but the tunes feel purposeless

Half-forgotten but never forgot

Cherry Coke on the dash, highway 45

Dusty vinyl spinning, ghost towns in my head

Like the diner neon blinking out its last

Walking through your ruins in designer heels

You're half-forgotten now
