nevermind this time and will you please
back away, inch away, falter and
stumble but never let it go
let me tell you, darling
I've got a long way to go
a long time to wait
and let me just excuse myself
while I nevermind this time
while I forget that way
that I never remember and how I always
forget
and I'm sorry if
I... drive you crazy
I'm sorry if I pull away
and nevermind me nevermind this time
nevermind it all.
