lyrics

The things you hold a candle to
all the items you value
don't add up to a hill of beans
that's me I'm here caught between

You & your trinkets
nickknacks & this & thats
high school yearbooks & locks of hair
just bits & pieces of past affairs
trinkets

Try to trade your useless nostalgia
for all the items I gave ya
as legal tender it's counterfeit
you won't get past point "A" with it

I'm not worth all the treasures you seek
& I'm beginning to feel just like an antique
old & worn & torn at the seams
that's me I'm here caught between

High school yearbooks & locks of hair
bits & pieces of past affairs...
