In this quiet room
all I hear is John Mayer singing,
"There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me."
It echoes in my hollow chest
and rattles in my head
and bones
because I wonder what that says about me

Will you forget about me?
Please don't forget about me
I am scared you'll forget about me

Because you are something unexpected
and I keep catching myself dreaming
of churches
and white dresses
and a man in a tux next to me
That's when it hits me
he's always you

Since when does this dream have a face
is the heart in your chest beating in time with mine
Or is that just me
Wishful thinking

Hear me please
in the dark tonight
words will whisper in your ear,
"I wish you were here...
I'm scared you'll forget about me."
Those whispers in the wind
are mine
The wind will brush against your face
(I wish it was my hand)
And the moon and the stars will shine and see you
(I wish I could)

Desire overwhelms
and the ache and words echo
"There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me."
