Remind me to tell you lyrics

I can be distant like an echo in a canyon

I get resistant and I need your understanding

I don't know what happens, I get removed

I don't mean to fade out but when I do.

Remind me to tell you

All the ways that I need you

Remind me to tell you

If somehow I forget to.

How much I’ve come to rely

On the strength that I find in your eyes

If you feel me starting to slide

Remind me to tell you.

I can be vacant like a schoolyard in the winter

I get complacent my attention starts to splinter

Then from out of nowhere as I’m watching you sleep

I have so much to tell you, I guess it'll keep.

Remind me to tell you

All the ways that I need you

Remind me to tell you

If somehow I forget to.

How much I’ve come to rely

On the strength that I find in your eyes

If you feel me starting to slide

Remind me to tell you.

We built the mosaic one piece at a time

Midnight is lavender, morning is lime

Major attention to minor detail

You take it too lightly it's certain to fail.

My fundamentals are sadly in need

Instead of advancing I tend to recede

I'll try to change

But if I should start acting the same, yeah.

Remind me to tell you

All the ways that I need you

Remind me to tell you

If somehow I forget to.

Remind me to tell you

All the ways that I need you

Remind me to tell you

If somehow I forget to.
