memento Lyrics[Verse 1]
What did you find in the box in the back
Of the attic that you packed all those years ago?
A 1960's plushie frog
A crochet tapestry for walls
A closet full of oddities
A signed Imogen Heap CD
[Pre-Chorus]
I fill my room with little things
That no one wants and no one needs
Rejected, I guess they’re just like me
[Chorus]
I'm the queen of broken toys
The music box that don't make noise
The friends I don't have think it's weird
I keep the things that disappear
I fall in love with broken glass
And wipe dust off of paperbacks
I'm afraid of letting go
So I hold on to mementos
[Verse 2]
The smell of old is nothing new
Locked in picture frames with glue
A TV stuck on Channel 5
A VHS that's locked in time
[Pre-Chorus]
In my room with little things
That no one wants and no one needs rejected
I guess they're just like me
[Chorus]
I'm the queen of broken toys
The music box that don't make noise
The friends I don't have think it's weird
I keep the things that disappear
I fall in love with broken glass
And wipe dust off of paperbacks
I'm afraid of letting go
So I hold on to mementos
[Outro]
What did you find in the box in the back
Of the attic that you packed all those years ago?
