Baseball Cards

Are you forgetting again?

Are you forgetting again?

I've been watching people open up

Old packs of baseball cards

Or throwing magnets into the creek

To fish out the riverbed

A little bike frame, some training wheels, and a box of rusty knives

But you still can't find

Why you've been casting all those lines

Cause you're forgetting

About your firstborn baby again

Yeah, you're forgetting again and again

I've been watching pranks or comedians

Reading all the words they write

Or kitchen tips like how to drain a lime

To keep those pesky flies outside

Propagate pineapple plant, shake at the taste of homemade wine

But you still can't find

How to keep quiet all the loud parts of your mind

Cause you're forgetting

About your firstborn baby again

About that first time mother

About that voice mail, you loved her

About that quiet birthday

You watched the sun come up with me

But you're forgetting again
