Permission to Forget (remix w Trey) Lyrics

Now I remember wanting to forget

Those golden times with you

Our temporary immortality

Should I ever pass this way again

I will remember this day

Sunlight glistening through the windshield speeding by

Our eyes alight in laughter

We were immortal

Endless opportunities spread out before us

As the limbs of an aging lover

We turned away

And now I sit alone

Wondering when I settled for this

Calculated solitude - safe and confined

Impervious to new pain - no fear of loss impending

And now I know what little I control is worthless alone

I'm lost in these latitudes - no formal restrictions

Complementary platitudes of grand indecision

Now I believe that memory

Is all we have and all we'll ever need

To relive the moment time and time again

Reiterated feeling – endure it again?

Can you come out and play

Before this day slips away?

Whatever you want from me is yours for the taking

No social complications, just memories in the making

I was begging for permission

I needed you to show me

All of life's temptations

You took me inside

Now I'm seeking permission

Before I confide in you

Perhaps some things are better left denied

Encircled by our best friends - laughing until we cried

Then we turned away and said goodbye for the last time

As best I can recall

We truly lived in the golden age

Love and life were almost free

I remember the reflections in your eyes full of possibilities

I was honored that you would even listen to someone like me

Now in total resignation, I pull the blinds

I don't need this anymore
