dusty cardboard

Today was just another day, filled with postcards and memories
Distant visions of the past, only to remember you by that Kodak smile
I put them all in a box and left it in the back of my car.
There's so much of my new life that's still so unorganized

Driving under the vast bridge, looking into the sky that's slowly sinking
Changing from day to night, blues to reds and yellows, and soon to be black.
I sigh again and tell myself not to go back.
There's nothing left for me---I chose to leave it there when I turned in the key.
I said good bye, I told myself I wouldn't cry.

A new beginning, a new life for sale.
The old one I've retired, the old one I've allowed it to die.
Rest in peace, it will remain a memory, another thing to add to the box
