Red House Painters - Have You Forgotten

I can't let you be
Cos your beauty won't allow me
Wrapped in white sheets
Like an angel from a bedtime story

Shut out what they say
Cos your friends are fucked up anyway
When they come around, somehow they feel up
And you feel down

When we were kids
We hated things our parents did
We listened low
To Casey Kasem's radio show
That's when friends were nice
And to think of them just makes you feel nice
The smell of grass of in Spring
And October leaves covered everything

Have you forgotten how to love yourself?

I still can't believe
All the good things that did for me
Backyard summer pools
And Christmas trees were bright and full
And sentiment of colored, mirrored ornaments
And the open drapes
Looked out on frozen farmhouse landscapes

Have you forgotten how to love yourself?
Have you forgotten how to love yourself?
