From the recording Dust on the Tracks: Outtakes & Rarities
Ryland Fisher delivers one of his most emotionally raw performances on Forget For a While (Blacker Sheep Mix)—a retro-tinged country-rock ballad that’s equal parts seductive and soul-crushing. Mournful steel guitar and moody textures set the tone for a story of fleeting intimacy masking deeper loneliness. This alternate version deepens the emotional undercurrent, turning a one-night stand into a quiet unraveling. It's vulnerable, smoky, and unforgettable.
Lyrics
We both say we never do this kinda thing
But here we are, nothing between us but the dark
I can't see your eyes, but I feel your lips
You're kissing me like it's something you've missed
Well girl, don't stop, cus I miss it too
It ain't wrong, it ain't right, it's just nothing
Nothing left to lose
You don't love me, and I don't love you
We're just doing what broken hearts do
To turn off the lonely just for the night
Hold each other close, give that darkness some light
And promise you won't let go till that sun starts to rise
Leave those memories with your clothes on the floor
Forget for a while
We got one thing in common- it ain't chemistry
It's a painted on smile- falling apart underneath
They say give it time, it'll get better
I don't know about you but I'm tired of waiting on forever, yeah
You don't love me, and I don't love you
We're just doing what broken hearts do
To turn off the lonely just for the night
Hold each other close, give that darkness some light
And promise you won't let go till that sun starts to rise
Leave those memories with your clothes on the floor
Forget for a while
In the morning, I'll be sleeping
You won't leave a note
Just a kiss before you go...
You don't love me, and I don't love you
We're just doing what broken hearts do, yeah
To turn off the lonely just for the night
Hold each other close, give that darkness some light
And promise you won't let go till that sun starts to rise
Leave those memories with your clothes on the floor
Forget for a while
Leave those memories with your clothes on the floor
Forget for a while
Baby, just forget…
Forget for a while
Forget for a while
Forget for a while
