Richard Carpenter Remind Me To Tell You
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
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
