The Things We Forget by Mark Wills Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I forgot how much I love that smell of the dirt fresh of the plough
That tailgate rattle, tires on gravel, I sure do love that sound
And I can't believe I spent so many years running from this
It's slow and it's small and it's life at a crawl but it's everything I miss

[Chorus]
Where we come from, where we're goin'
How to live right here in the moment
How to love somebody, let them love you back
When they let go and cry, when they lighten up and laugh
Slow down now and take a long deep breath
Man, the things we forget

[Verse 2]
Well, I pulled off that old river road and I look back at my life
At the long lost friends and it might have been, love's I told goodbye
Then I lay back on my truck hood, and I ponder why we're here
If you stare long enough at the heaven's above
Man, it all gets crystal clear
[Chorus]
Where we come from, where we're goin'
How to live right here in the moment
How to love somebody, let them love you back
When they let go and cry, when they lighten up and laugh
Slow down now and take a long deep breath
Man, the things we forget

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Where we come from, where we're goin'
How to live right here in the moment
How to love somebody, let them love you back
When they let go and cry, when they lighten up and laugh
Slow on down and take a long deep breath
Man, the things we forget
Man, the things we forget
Yeah, the things we forget
