loses track
Can't keep up
Loses track means to fail to maintain awareness of something over time.
You might lose track of an old friend, lose track of time while absorbed in a task, or lose track of how much you've spent.
The phrase implies gradual drift rather than sudden loss: I lost track of the conversation when they started talking about chemistry.
