jack cookson (folk) - defect in retrospect (live) كلمات أغنية

i’m overwhelmed by the pelt of my past
it’s a ship in a storm aboard which i cling to the mast
i’m cursed to roam these decks and i think ‘what if’
’cause the heights of your crow’s nest scared me stiff
(scared me stiff)
nostalgic flame burned bright behind my eyes
on nights like these under crescent moon-lit skies
it’s easy to forget flame’s not without a burn
half my memories reduced to ash in a sealed urn
do you remember the days when i could remember every word you said?

yeah, me neither, yeah, me neither
yeah, me neither, my friend, my friend

i guess the difference between then and now is my new found ability to turn-around, though i can’t quite suss in my crumbling brain why so many of these turns are made in vain
and i am crippled by the fear that i’m wasting my youth
and my thoughts just bleed when i try to find some truth
i can’t stop staring at this half-empty cup
i want to make something of this before my time is up
well, do you remember the days when i could remember every word you said?

yeah, me neither, yeah, me neither
yeah, me neither, my friend, my friend

now i know i could never learn more from a record than in school. i’m sorry springsteen but i’m not that much of a naive fool
but in a song, i did learn of the sickness of sentiment
and all of the weakness that comes in feeling content

with what’s past i can’t disconnect
there’s so much defect in retrospect
with what’s past i can’t disconnect
there’s so much defect in retrospect
with what’s past i can’t disconnect
there’s so much defect in retrospect
with what’s past i can’t disconnect
there’s so much defect in retrospect
there’s so much defect in retrospect
