Why can I remember lyrics to about a million songs.. But yet can't remember why I walked into the living room.

I have heard it is a long term, short term memory thing. They say we can all remember all the songs, rhymes we learned as a child and it somehow sticks with us, but as we have more and more on our minds, short term sometimes is harder.
I find the more active I am the more likely to temporarily forget things...this is hardly a scientific explanation and no doubt there is one...

Probably your mind is busy with other things. Some things we find important to remember or it touches us/our heart. Walking into the living (to get something or..) is more like a habit, something you do inbetween other things, while your mind it elsewhere. Ofcourse it's possible to remember everything but if you want that you will be exhausted in no time.
