Lyrics
When I was just a young man
My heart was full of dreams
As I started to get older
My mind was still full of schemes
As the burdens of life mounted
My life became more full of fear
I wish I could find that young man and
Forget the baggage of the years
I forgot to remember
To remember to forget
I forgot to remember
That it?s not over yet
I still have the same dreams and
Now I know so much more
If I can leave my fears behind me
They can?t hold me back anymore
I forgot to remember
To remember to forget
I forgot to remember
That what you give can change what you get
Some things move you forward
And other things you learn can hold you back
Wisdom is the skill to sort it all out
When to retreat when to attack
I forgot to remember
To remember to forget
I forgot to remember
To remember to forget
I forgot to remember
To remember to forget
I forgot to remember
That it?s not all over yet
