Song Lyrics

Can't remember lookin' for somethin' so hard to find
I can't remember talkin' to myself just like I'd lost my mind
I can't remember rowin' towards the moon upon a single beam
But it must have happened, yeah, it must have happened

Can't remember learning how to laugh at catastrophe
I can't remember losin' track of who I was supposed to be
I can't remember ridin' flyin' horses toward the golden ring
But it must have happened, yes, it must have happened

'Cause after all, baby, here I am with the
Ring in my pocket and the moon in my hand
After all, baby, here I am with you

Can't remember seein' all my hopes goin' up in flames
I can't remember reachin' for the closest thing to dull the pain
I can't remember feeling I could be healed by a stranger's hand
But it must have happened, yes, it must have happened

'Cause after all, baby, here I am in a
Bed of roses with a punch-drunk cretin
After all, baby, here I am with you

Can't remember lookin' for omens hopin' there was gonna be a sign
Can't remember figuring out the secret was inside me all this time
I can't remember walkin' without fear towards the light you shine
But it must have happened, yeah, it must have happened
And I know it happened, yes, it must have happened
Darlin' look what happened
