"Erase Me" lyrics - BEN FOLDS FIVE
What was our home?
Paper, not stone
A lean-to, at most
And when you pulled
Your half away
Gravity won
Like it always does
Did I weigh a ton?
Would it be easier
To just delete
Our pages and the plans we made?
[Chorus:]
Erase me, so you don't have to face me
Put me in the ground and mow the daisies
Ah, the memory
See how it goes when you-
[Refrain:]
Erase me
Erase me
So what will you do
With no me for you?
I know what we said
What if I left
A thing or two?
We know that you don't seem
To think about what you need
'Til you reach to find that you've-
[Chorus:]
Erased me-what the fuck is this? You're crazy
Turned around, in two weeks'e time, replaced me
Ah, the memory
Everybody knows how it goes
You just erase me, do me like a bro and tase me
Fireworks, poof! It's gone, amazing
New bio, you've gone solo
Drawing mustaches on our wedding photo
[Refrain:]
Erase me
Erase me
Erase me
[Breakdown]
[Chorus:]
(Erase me) This is not shouting, baby
(Erase me) Go and call the cops now, baby
Ah, the memory
Everybody knows 'bout the brand-new ho
Erase me, and you'll never have to face me
Erase me, Option-Command-Escape me
And if you feel nothing, guess what I wanna be?
Nothing
