  • Do you think
    There are things I'd rather not remember
    Can you believe
    I cannot recall that last December
    When we kissed
    And we realized our love could not last
    Growing slow
    It could not keep up the time went too fast

    Life is like a velvet hammer knocking on my head

    Yesterday I said goodbye
    To all my old loves and some new ones
    Hanging 'round my window whispering
    There are things that can't be undone
    Yesterday I threw away those treasures
    That I kept for so long
    Treasures only weigh you down
    So I'm burning all the bridges of my memory

    Looking back
    I can almost laugh to think about you
    But in fact
    The laugh's on me since I'm without you
    When we met
    We were lifetimes younger and so innocent
    When I left
    Neither one of us knew what the other meant

    Life is like a velvet hammer knocking on my head
    Don't you wish that one time
    You could knock on life instead
