Remember.

Woke up from what I know now was a bad dream
Trying to remember, trying to remember my name.
Am I Adam? Then you must be Eve.
How was the Garden, and when did we leave?

Shame I don’t remember.
I’m ashamed I can’t remember.
If that was heaven, and you’re my Eve,
Why did we leave?

Shake my head and try to find some common ground.
Trying to say, say your name, but I can’t make a sound.
Was I right? But how were you wrong?
Did I apologize, and why’d I wait so long?

Sorry, I don’t remember.
I’m so proud, I won’t remember.
If that was heaven, and you were the key
Why did I leave?

Roll back over to get away from the light
Just close my eyes, close them as if the dark makes two wrongs right.
If this is my hell, and this is the deed,
Why won’t I leave?

Shame I don’t remember.
God, why can’t I remember?
Why didn’t I remember?
Remember.
Remember.
There was heaven, there was the key.
Why did I leave?
