My friend Brittain Ashford wrote this song a while ago and when I first heard it there was something about it, lyrically and melodically, that really stuck with me. It is my favorite of her songs and I knew I would cover it eventually.

lyrics

I will forget you
I will learn to live without you
I will forget you, but only because I have to.

And as I grow older
I'm only more certain
I know what love is:
It's that graveled alley way
On a hot summer's day where you used to live.

But I will forget that
and all of those nights we spent indoors
and you were charming and clever and you placed all your tiles
on those triple word scores.

But I will forget you
I will learn to live without you
Yeah, I will forget you, I will I swear I will.

Though I knew your face
Long before I could ever see
And I, I knew your name
Before I could ever speak a word

But I will forget you
It will take all of my faith and my will,
I will forget you, but only because I have to.

Iowa Anvil
by The Graze

The Graze is easily my favorite band in Seattle. Louis O'Callahan's writing style is right up my alley, it doesn't do him justice to say but he could be Kurt Cobain and Jeff Mangum's bastard child. The Way It Is
