From the recording Sleeping with Ghosts, Vol. II
“Amnesia” closes Sleeping with Ghosts, Volume II with quiet power and emotional clarity. A delicate chord progression, shimmering electric guitar, and Ryland Fisher’s vulnerable vocals guide this cinematic ballad through themes of healing, memory, and emotional rebirth. It’s a song about meeting someone who makes the past disappear — a final, unforgettable note of hope and grace.
Lyrics
It wasn’t so long ago
Was living in the past- running from a ghost
But time stood still- I was frozen
Every day my heart a little more broken
But that was then
‘Fore you walked in
All it took was one kiss to make me forget
Girl, you give me amnesia
I barely remember who I was before you
It’s like I’ve been sleeping
And opened my eyes to a dream come true
So baby, come a little closer with that healing
Nothing in my rearview worth feeling
Give me amnesia
(Amnesia)
Looking back at who I was
And everyone I thought I loved
Can’t recall why I felt all that hurt
Must have slipped my mind the day that I met you, girl
And held your hand- was like I was a brand new man
Like I just woke up and turned to chapter one
Girl, you give me amnesia
I barely remember who I was before you
It’s like I’ve been sleeping
And opened my eyes to a dream come true
So baby, come a little closer with that healing
Nothing in my rearview worth feeling
Give me amnesia
(I need ya)
No more yesterday
Honey, you’re to blame
Put your lips on mine
And make the whole world fade
Give me amnesia
Girl, give me amnesia
Girl, give me amnesia
I barely remember who I was before you
It’s like I’ve been sleeping
And opened my eyes to a dream come true
So baby, come a little closer with that healing
Nothing in my rearview worth feeling
Give me amnesia (I need ya)
Give me amnesia (Amnesia)
Give me amnesia (I need ya)
