lyrics

These old cups haven’t been used in a while
Or that plate of mine
A vase of fake flowers
And CDs full of hours
That you gave to me
Hours and hour you made for me
I’ll set you free

And all of these ghosts around
Keep crowding up my cabinets
And it’s time to box them up
And take them far away
To better days

Postcards left on the fridge stuck with magnets
Signed from friends of yours
A box of your t-shirts
Of bands I’ve never heard
Left to rot away
Go to the pile I’ll give away
Please don’t stay

And all of these ghosts around
Keep crowding up my cabinets
And it’s time to box them up
And take them far away
To better days

Now it’s over and done
And your things are all long gone
Now all I’ve got is memories of you
memories of you
memories of you
memories of you
