With a box full of records from Columbia House
Come hell or high water, I'll make the future somehow
With some clothes I've outgrown
Some looks I can live without
I'm an ocean of sentimental value, I wanna leave it behind somehow
I'm dying to feel better, dying to patch up all the leaks
Off chasing better weather with a head full of antiques
Hoping one of these'll shoot me back into the breeze
Lord I'm bending on my knees
To go find peace somehow
I'll trade my past to you
For a future past
Everything must go, all that I can throw
And all that I can cash
My days roll together into a ball of twine
Can't tell you how it stands, or how it got so high
I'd find some more time to waste
If I had a little more time to buy
Here, kid they're your memories now
Take em, I hope they're kind
Let me go find peace somehow
I'll trade my past to you
For a future past
Everything must go, all I've ever known
Was never built to last
