When You Forget Me Lyrics by Eilish Gilligan

FIRST ONE TO LEAVE THE PARTY (EP)

2021

[Verse 1]
The bar in Fitzroy is the same
Nothing's changed in that place since we kissed on our very first date
And of all people I should know
I go there alone tryna get back in touch with a ghost
[Chorus 1]
When you forget me I hope it comes easily
I hope a scalding hot shower
A four hour nap does the job
When you forget me I hope nothing's left behind
Like a bobby pin sitting behind in a box in your room
I hope that wouldn't do things to you
[Verse 2]
So I stand in my bathroom on my own
And the places you kissed me are marked up in ink to the bonе
Baby pink, your soft lipped tattoos
Not a laser on Earth that can erasе the memory of you
[Chorus 2]
When you forget me another will come along
We'll keep circling cities and I'll keep on singing my songs
When you forget me I hope that it feels complete
I hope when you're buying her roses they don't make you think of my lipstick
Or remind you of the weight of our kiss
[Bridge]
Every word in the night
Half awake, yellow light
No matter how hard I hold
It'll go
No matter how hard I try to
Write down every time you make me blush on the phone
It'll go
The future laid out before us trying to unfold
The future laid out before us trying to let go
[Chorus 3]
When you forget me I hope it comes easily
I hope it's simple and quick and like nothing it has been for me
When you forget me I hope nothing's left behind
I hope we meet in a year at the back of a coffee shop line
I hope it doesn't feel like you're mine
