I Forget Where We Were
Ben Howard/Musicfire.in Lyrics

Oh hey, I wasn't listening
I was too focused on watching the news about the conflict in Syria to hear you speak.

I was watching Syria
I was paying attention to the news and events happening in Syria, which distracted me from listening to you.

Blinded by the sunshine strip
My sight was impaired by the bright sun shining through the window shades, which made it harder for me to concentrate.

You, you were in the kitchen
You were present in the kitchen, separate from my preoccupations, and probably talking to me, but I was not aware of it.

Oh, your mariner's mouth
You have an alluring and mysterious way of speaking with your lips, as if you are a seafarer who has traveled the world.

The wounded with the wounder's whip
Our words and actions can both hurt and be hurtful, and in our relationship, we both wound and are wounded by each other.

And that's how summer passed away
Without realizing it, summer went by while we were facing challenges in our relationship.

The great dividing range, the green, green grass
Symbolizes the distance and obstacles (dividing range) we face, while the green, green grass refers to the comforting and familiar aspects of our relationship that we still enjoy.

And oh, maybe it was peace at last
We might have found calmness and tranquility after all the struggles and concerns we had encountered.

Hello love, my invincible friend
I refer to you as my friend, even though we are lovers because you have always been there for me and make me feel invincible.

Oh, hello love, the thistle and the burr
Despite our closeness and love, there are still some irritants and complexities that we must deal with in our relationship (thistle and burr).

Oh, hello love, for you I have so many words
I have an overwhelming amount of emotions and thoughts regarding you as my beloved partner.

But I, I forget where we were, no
Even though I have so much to say about our relationship, I have lost track of where we currently stand in our lives together and how we will move forward together.

I was stung by all of us
I was hurt by our actions, collectively, as human beings, who can be destructive and selfish.

The blind leading out the bored
People who are unaware and uninterested in anything lead others astray, and they usually do this in a misguided attempt to alleviate their own boredom.

And as per usual
This scenario is recurrent and happens all the time, as it is the status quo of society.

You were skipping and laughing
While I was consumed with thoughts of the world's negativity, you were finding joy in the simple things, and having a good time.

Eyes at the bedroom door
You are always watching for something exciting or amazing but lose sight of where you currently are in our relationship or in our lives together.

'Don't take it so seriously, no Only time is ours, the rest we'll just wait and see!'
We should not overanalyze and worry unnecessarily, as we have the gift of time to sort out our problems and wait for the right path to reveal itself.

Maybe you're right, babe Maybe
I am optimistic that you might be correct, and everything will work out in our relationship (maybe) if we take a more relaxed approach.

And oh, maybe I'll hold on fast To you
I might continue to cling to you as my partner, hoping that we can weather whatever comes our way and stay together.

I forget where we were, no I forget where we were, no I forget where we were
Repeating this line indicates that I have lost my way or my sense of direction in our relationship and have forgotten where we are in terms of our love and togetherness.

And oh, maybe it was peace at last Who knew?
It is possible that we can finally find peace in our relationship and in our lives, but it is difficult to know for sure.
