Glasses On Your Head

[all vocals done through rhythmic indie spoken word]

[Verse 1]
I checked the hall table twice.
Then the couch.
Then the bowl by the door.
Your keys were not there.
Your keys were not there.

I opened the junk drawer.
Moved the coupons.
Found a battery.
Found a spoon.
Found a receipt from June.
Still no keys.

[Pre-Chorus]
I patted every pocket.
I shook every coat.
I looked under the mail.
I looked behind the shoes.
My hands were doing laps.
My head was not helping.

[Chorus]
You forgot the glasses.
You forgot the glasses.
Not the keys, the glasses.
Right there on your face.

You forgot the glasses.
You forgot the glasses.
All that searching, all that stress,
and they were on your face.

[Verse 2]
I checked the fridge.
I checked the sink.
I checked the bathroom shelf.
I even looked in the freezer
like a person with a plan.

Then the laugh came out.
Small at first.
Then loud enough to bend me over.
Because the world got fuzzy
for the exact reason it should.

[Pre-Chorus]
The little things hide
when the big thought hits.
You swear it’s one missing piece,
but it’s the one you’re wearing.
So you search the whole house
for something already found.

[Chorus]
You forgot the glasses.
You forgot the glasses.
Not the keys, the glasses.
Right there on your face.

You forgot the glasses.
You forgot the glasses.
All that searching, all that stress,
and they were on your face.

[Bridge]
I stood in the mirror
and there you were.
Eyes wide.
Hands up.
Laughing at the joke.

I had the keys in my palm.
I had my glasses on.
I had the day in a knot
for something sitting still.

[Final Chorus]
You forgot the glasses.
You forgot the glasses.
Not the keys, the glasses.
Right there on your face.

You forgot the glasses.
You forgot the glasses.
All that searching, all that stress,
and they were on your face.

You forgot the glasses.
You forgot the glasses.
I guess the answer was easy
once I could see it clear.
