Lyrics
We sat side by side on a fishing pier.
I casted out and I hooked your ear
And we laughed so hard it chased the seagulls away.
Your hand felt like a baseball mitt
Every time you held my hand in it
And you said that you would always keep me safe.
But it's safe to say
It didn't turn out that way.
There's a hole in my heart where your name had been
You cut right through it with the gravest sin
Now it just don't work the same
Since my heart forgot your name.
There's a hole in my heart where your name once was
Now I feel nothing
Can't remember your love
And it's just too big to fill
If I have to live with it I will
But it ain't easy
And it's such a shame
But my heart forgot
Your name.
We searched for vinyl at the secondhand shop,
Bought all the Skynyrd and we played it nonstop
And I sang off key while you strummed on your Les Paul
When I got the job we shared an ice cream cone,
When I crashed my car, you came and took me home,
In good and bad times, you were my first call.
But I can't call out a name
I don't know at all.
No I can't call out
A name I don't at all.
There's a hole in my heart where your name had been
You cut right through it with the gravest sin
Now it just don't work the same
Since my heart forgot your name.
There's a hole in my heart where your name once was
Now I feel nothing
Can't remember your love
And it's just too big to fill
If I have to live with it I will
But it ain't easy
And it's such a shame
But my heart forgot
Your name.
