[Verse 1]
Like a bank note on the pavement
Like an apple going rotten
Like the tape spool in the branches that's all spent out
Like your name I've forgotten
[Chorus]
It's on the tip of my tongue
On the tip of my tongue
I'm sure I knew you from somewhere
But now it's gone
[Verse 2]
Like an oil slick on the surface
Like a coin down at the bottom
Like that dog howling mad in the distance
Like your name I've forgotten
[Chorus]
It's on the tip of my tongue
On thе tip of my tongue
I'm sure I knew you from somеwhere
I'm sure I knew you from somewhere
But now it's gone
[Verse 3]
But I could swear we got to know each other
Shook our worries off
But there's a red light winking in the darkest corner
Can we shut it off?
Like a cat fight in the shadows
Like a bloodstain on the cotton
Like a deer lying dead in the hedge rows
Like your name I've forgotten
[Chorus]
It's on the tip of my tongue
It's on the tip of my tongue
I'm sure I knew you from somewhere
I'm sure I knew you from somewhere
I'm sure I knew you from somewhere
But now it's gone
