lyrics

Sometimes the safest way to restart is to simply just forget what happened

Am I forgetful?
Or do I only try to remember the good times?
Should I be careful?
Or should I only lie when I know that it’s alright?
Am I forgetful? (Am I forgetful?)
Or do I only try to remember the good times?
Should I be careful? (Should I be careful?)
Or should I only lie when I know that it’s alright?

To be honest yeah I’m oblivious
My mind’s stuck the in further like I’m in Insidious
If your feeling modest I’d appreciate a hint
So my forgetful ways don’t make you feel mysterious
I’ll use my brain power to remember your first name
I hope that that’s enough cause I won’t try your birthday
If you get mad at me I’ll still forget what you say
Cause I would rather make my momma proud by winning first place

Am I forgetful?
Or do I only try to remember the good times?
Should I be careful?
Or should I only lie when I know that it’s alright?
Am I forgetful? (Am I forgetful?)
Or do I only try to remember the good times?
Should I be careful? (Should I be careful?)
Or should I only lie when I know that it’s alright? (Show me your moves!)

Hippopotamus Hippocampus
Slower than a praying mantis
My animal brain it’s branded
Old major this my planet
Welcome to my side of the mountain
Frightful by my side she a falcon
When they say silence is the loudest
I can hear my mind it’s shouting (Falcon punch!)
Running up and up and down gymnastic animal
Even when I’m going slow I always lose control (I always lose control)
Driving through my life I know my heart is on patrol
I know that I am special I know that I’m forgetful

Am I forgetful?
Or do I only try to remember the good times?
Should I be careful?
Or should I only lie when I know that it’s alright?
Am I forgetful? (Am I forgetful?)
Or do I only try to remember the good times?
Should I be careful? (Should I be careful?)
Or should I only lie when I know that it’s alright?

Am I forgetful?
I know that I am special I know that I’m forgetful
Should I be careful?
I know that I am special I know that I’m forgetful
Am I forgetful?
I know that I am special I know that I’m forgetful
Should I be careful?
I know that I am special I know that I’m forgetful
