Eels - Selective Memory Lyrics

If I lay my head down I will see you in my dream
Wearing that polka dot dress and sitting by the stream
Leaning in to hear you, you will whisper in my ear
And everything I need to know I finally hear

I wish I could remember
But my selective memory won't let me

When I was a baby we would go out to the park
And sit out in the fountain splashing 'round until it's dark
Days go on forever when you only know that much
And everything you need to know is answered with one touch

I wish I could remember
But my selective memory won't let me
