Do you think There are things I'd rather not remember Can you believe I cannot recall that last december When we kissed And we realized our love could not last Growing slow It could not keep up the time went too fast Life is like a velvet hammer knocking on my head Yesterday I said goodbye To all my old loves and some new ones Hanging 'round my window whispering There are things that can't be undone Yesterday I threw away those treasures That I kept for so long Treasures only weigh you down So I'm burning all the bridges of my memory Looking back I can almost laugh to think about you But in fact The laugh's on me since I'm without you When we met We were lifetimes younger and so innocent When I left Neither one of us knew what the other meant Life is like a velvet hammer knocking on my head Don't you wish that one time You could knock on life instead
