Lyrics

In My Shoebox
© 2007, Nancy Kaawe

Verse
I saved your words
Still got that message that you sent me on my birthday
I saved you voice
Still got that message that you left me on my voicemail

And in between the lines
I read a million signs
That did not exist
I could not resist

Verse
I saved your face
Still got a picture from the party; you were such a hit
I saved your hand
Still got that little note you wrote me on a post-it

I know you noticed
and then ignored it
I loved you in vain
but still you remain

Chorus
Immovable here in your place
Untouchable here in your space
You will always be, top of the heap
IN MY SHOEBOX

Verse
I saved your time
In case one day you should have been so inclined
But time's claustrophobic
And much too stubborn to be stored up in a carton

So now you've come around
but now its gone out
and its such a shame
that all that remains

(Repeat chorus)

Bridge
Its a funny thing time, how it heals that wound
Changes all the feelings you never thought would
It's a funny thin line, between now and then
My heart stopped obsessin' and I can't tell you when

(Repeat chorus)
