Permission to Forget

from Light Horizon by GREGORY

/

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
