Shoeboxes (feat. Valentina)

The shoebox is full

Of all my old things

Faded photographs

Christmas cards and rings

Here's a letter you wrote

Candlewax and a silver stone

Here's a piece of the wall

A polaroid of a song

Is that who we are?

Just shoeboxes full

Of our rise and fall

From baby shoes

To funeral songs

From where lipstick stains

To where ashes fall

The shoebox lid

Is taped and torn

It's water stained

From where it was stored

A house for ghosts

A jail for bones

A playground for stories

And cemetery stones

Is that who we are?

Just shoeboxes full

Of our rise and fall

From baby shoes

To funeral songs

From where lipstick stains

To where ashes fall

Broken mirrors (broken mirrors)

And tattooed tears (tattooed tears)

A lock of your hair (a lock of your hair)

The chain you would wear (chain you would wear)

Is all I have left (all I have left)

A piece of your dress (piece of your dress)

However small (however small)

(It's who we are) It's who we are

Just shoeboxes full

Of our rise and fall

From baby shoes

To funeral songs

From where lipstick stains

To where ashes fall

It's who we are

Just shoeboxes full

Of our rise and fall
