Hard to Remember - Los Colognes

My hands haven’t been this dirty since I was a kid

But the dirt of a child is a dirt of the wild unhip

Now the dirt of the man on dirty hands from things that he did

It don’t wash away on a summer’s day like it did as a kid

It’s hard to remember how easy it is

Now you’re lazy, or crazy

Or maybe you just got too much to give

It’s hard to remember how easy it was

To believe in what you’re seeing

When you look up above

At the billion stars on an untamed night back in ninety-four

When the grass and the trees and the wind

Was as cool as a living room floor

When you didn’t need drugs

You had enough hugs

To last a third world war

You had all that you need

But if not you could ask the neighbor next door

Been in love with two different women

With the very same name

And heartaches number one and two

Felt just about the same

Pullingmy finger on a slippery slope

In the driving rain

Thinking we could just start over

Like a video game

To believe in what you’re seeing

When you look up above
