lyrics
I forget the taste of your breathe
Did you forget what it felt like when we met
Holding hands on the seahorse floor
Is that too much for to be begging for
Is it something you remember or did you forget?
Just like that month you still ain’t over yet (ain’t over yet)
Calling you drunk coming in from the sea
I was praying that you’d believe me
And you would wonder how I got this number
I would wonder if you’d believe my hunger
Oh ‘cause life is such a wonder with no guarantees (no guarantees)
Close your eyes now and hum the tune
Walk away under the city moon
I didn’t think you were gonna believe
In the words falling out of me
As I pleaded for a second chance at the middle spoon
Taking shots now to loosen the mouth
I forget what I’m going on about
I just wanna dance with you and the Mellotones
Back when we never stared at our phones
I just wanna dance with you and the Mellotones
Back when we never stared at our phones
Now I catch myself waking from the dream
Stop yourself from doing the routine
In this everything you wanted and more?
Is this everything you wanted me for?
Don’t be ever afraid to be mean, just let me know
I forget the taste of your breathe
Did you forget what it felt like when we met
Holding hands on the seahorse floor
Is that too much for to be begging for
Is that something that you remember or did you forget?
‘Cause it's something I’ll always remember, I’ll never forget
(Never forget)
Did you forget what it felt like when we met
Holding hands on the seahorse floor
Is that too much for to be begging for
Is it something you remember or did you forget?
Just like that month you still ain’t over yet (ain’t over yet)
Calling you drunk coming in from the sea
I was praying that you’d believe me
And you would wonder how I got this number
I would wonder if you’d believe my hunger
Oh ‘cause life is such a wonder with no guarantees (no guarantees)
Close your eyes now and hum the tune
Walk away under the city moon
I didn’t think you were gonna believe
In the words falling out of me
As I pleaded for a second chance at the middle spoon
Taking shots now to loosen the mouth
I forget what I’m going on about
I just wanna dance with you and the Mellotones
Back when we never stared at our phones
I just wanna dance with you and the Mellotones
Back when we never stared at our phones
Now I catch myself waking from the dream
Stop yourself from doing the routine
In this everything you wanted and more?
Is this everything you wanted me for?
Don’t be ever afraid to be mean, just let me know
I forget the taste of your breathe
Did you forget what it felt like when we met
Holding hands on the seahorse floor
Is that too much for to be begging for
Is that something that you remember or did you forget?
‘Cause it's something I’ll always remember, I’ll never forget
(Never forget)
