Remind Yourself

Remind yourself

Of the little signs

And the small asides

Playing on your mind

Shift of air

The turn of phrase

Obsession to

Averted gaze

Remind yourself

How the field is wide

And the eye takes more than it sweeps aside

Choose to keep or select the shelf

Is a tender lie

Remind yourself

Remind yourself as the moon shifts overhead

That roll it does

Roll it does

And the drum beat in your chest

It becomes a pulse

It becomes

Remind yourself of a wiser day

When you let them come

But wouldn't let them stay

Gave them hope and

Forgot your own

Took your head to town

And your body home

When you told yourself

That you couldn't have

And you wouldn't feel

And it wasn't bad

When you know the truth matters

Nothing less

They will lie to you

Remind yourself

Remind yourself as the moon shifts overhead

That roll it does

Roll it does

And the drum beat in your chest

It becomes a pulse

Becomes

As the moon shifts overhea

Roll it does

Roll

Remind yourself

When you say goodbye

They'll forget today

And forget the tie

And somebody else

Is gonna fill the cup

That they say no one but you

Filled up

Remind yourself

The heart that pleads

Very soon takes care

Of its own needs

The greatest love

Is dealt and done

Remind yourself

And move along

Move along
