Shoebox Lyrics

In my closet on a shelf there's an old shoebox
filled with old memories and not much else
There's photographs and letters
a few remember whens
That I find myself reading over and over again

And though you're not with me
I can relive history
In every letter - every I love you is circled in red
I've got the ticket stubs from every movie that we've seen
and the rose that you gave me
The one you picked from your momma's flower bed
The day we met

I really should have moved on
A long time ago
But when it comes to you
I never was that strong
No matter how far away you are or where I am
Inside this here old shoe box we'll be lovers and friends

And though you're not with me
I can relive history
I've got every card with your name signed in hearts
But the memory that I forget the most
Is the dear John letter that I keep closed
And baby I can't help but wonder where you are
I know you're with someone else not me
But I can still relive history
In every letter - every I love you is circled in red
I've got the ticket stubs from every movie that we've seen
The one you picked from your momma's flower bed
The day we met

In a closet on a shelf I'll keep that old shoe box
Filled with our memories - nothing else
No matter how far away you are or where I am
Or where I am
Inside this old shoe box we'll be
Lovers and friends
