I always thought the line was "this is the story of how we FORGET to remember" not begin. But I could be wrong. If I am, then that makes me sad because I loved that line... :(

Me too! I thought it was about breaking up with someone and then forgetting to remember them so you can start over, start fresh. Read more in my larger reply, if you're interested...

@thelesserthreat 'begins' rings more hopeful.
