Shoebox

I found a shoebox in my closet

I found a shoebox in my closet
I don't know why it was tucked away
It filled with memories from our lives
The good times of yesterday

The box wasn't all that full
It was a Summer after all
But still I wept and then I gave
Your old number a call

Your mother picked up, she said she's doing fine
I heard her choke back tears and say there's someone on the other line
I saw a movie with your sister, she reminds me of you the most
The way the streetlights hit her face, like I was looking at a ghost

Like I was looking at a ghost

I still have flashbacks to that warm and rainy night
The blinding rays of that driver's headlights
That moment in my head keeps playing on repeat
Your mother's face when she saw you lying on the street

I found a shoebox in my closet
I found a shoebox in my closet

I found a shoebox in my closet
I know why I tucked it away
It's filled with memories from our lives
Too painful to see today

I get it
I'm like, amazing
Ugh
