Shoe Box

Memories in a busted shoebox
 Underneath my bed
 Somewhere other sweetness
 In pencil with the lead
 A picture of me with a smile that I'm not faking
 I wish things were the way they are when the picture was taken
 When the picture was taken
 ♪
 Black and white, slow motion flashback
 Spin around the head
 A vision in the night, me as a kid
 I picture myself with a smile
 That will be the way, slam shut, whole
 Gotta be there, hard through
 That will be the way, I get home
 Gotta be there, shaken
 ♪
 Milestone, ticking time bomb
 Fate to nothing more
 Hope not to be forgotten
 Drowning off the shore
 A polishing man in the sand
 And I'm forsaken
 I wish things were the way they are when the picture was taken
 When the picture was taken
 ♪
 That will be the way, slam shut, whole
 Gotta be there, hard through
 That will be the way, I get home
 Gotta be there, shaken
 That will be the way, slam shut, whole
 Gotta be there, hard through
 That will be the way, I get home
 Gotta be there, shaken
