Don't Forget Me

(Album: Skins - 2011)

Don't forget me everybody says
At a certain age when everything is moving so fast
Don't forget me every girl has said
And I'll remember each and every one until I'm dead

Don't forget me as the soul's diminishing the body's need to live
Remembering the wish to sing and hopeful of what morning brings to life
Not me.

Don't forget me, those other boys forgot
But I'm the one who did their bidding every time and did not
To be forgotten is the most frightening thought
For all those boys and girls and other friends whom time forgot

Don't forget me as the soul's diminishing the body's need for love
Remembering the wish to sing and hopeful of what morning brings to us
Not me, not me, not me

Don't forget me are the words she'd say
When we were young and on the beach and all drenched in spray
But when moon rose the sunburn still burned raw
Cause through all the years there's really only one I saw

And don't forget me is the whispered wish that travels my lips to your ears
Five at fifteen is forever to remember the intervening years
Not me (don't forget me)
