Lyrics (fan transcription):

it's like forgetting the words to your favorite song
you can't believe it, you were always singing along
it was so easy and the words so sweet
you can't remember, you try to feel the beat

eet...

you spend half of your life trying to fall behind
you're using your headphones to drown out your mind
it was so easy and the words so sweet
you can't remember, you try to move your feet

eet...

someone's deciding whether or not to steal
he opens a window just to feel the chill
he hears that outside a small boy just started to cry
cause it's his turn, but his brother won't let him try
