Things To Forget Lyrics - Sarah Harmer

I got to put some things in the ground 

Even with this season coming around 

It's green's last gasp and leaves brown 

And autumn days are winding down 

I got to get it out of my head 

And make good on some things I've said 

In case you overheard my plans 

And find me out as the talker that I am 

But holidays are made for reading 

And remembering things that are worth repeating 

In the clatter of the afternoon 

In the sunlight that is left 

We can make a list of things to forget 

Maybe the drive was a little too long 

Can we pull over to the shoulder so I can write this song 

The carpet they laid out is a gray shade of red 

Road work ahead, that's what we said 

But holidays are made for reading 

And remembering things that are worth repeating 

In the clatter of the afternoon 

In the sunlight that is left 

We can make a list of things to forget the false starts 

And the loose strings 

The feeling's of regret that ring 

On a day when you haven't done much of anything
