Closets & Boxes

Look there's the shirt I borrowed from you
The first night I crossed that line and finally saw your room
Look there's the dress I wore on my birthday
The first night you took me out on a real date
Take it away

Look there's the picture I tracked down for you
I hung it on my wall after we were through
Look there's the letter I never gave to you
Explaining all the reasons why I fell for you

Take it away
'Cause it's a place I'll never get to go again
And it's such a waste of time and memories I'll never get back
You're taking up space in my closet and boxes
Underneath this bed where we laid
So just take it away
Take it away

There's the sweater I kept after that big fight
The one I slept with almost every night
There's the presence you left clouding up my mind
There's the pillow I buried into while I cried

The shades that you saw me through
The pages I wrote for you
Guitar pick you used to play
And songs I sang to you

Take it away
'Cause it's a place I'll never get to go again
And it's such a waste of time and memories I'll never get back
You're taking up space in my closet and boxes
Underneath this bed where we laid
So just take it away
Take it away

And I've kept the things you wrote
All the rhymes, the tickets stubs
From all the times we waited in the cold all night
I remember, I remember
Kept all the words you never said
Running here around my head
This clutter is such a blur now
But I remember every house in this town
Everywhere you let me down

Take it away
'Cause it's a place I never wanna go again
And it's such a waste of time and memories I'll never get back
You're taking up space in my closet and boxes
Underneath this bed where we laid
We laid
So just take it away
Take it away
