Lyrics
Just a few old memories
Reflecting on a few distant memories
Slipped in through my door
Memories unexpectedly resurfaced in my thoughts
Though I thought I had closed it
Despite attempting to forget them
So tightly before
Trying to keep those memories out of my mind
I can't understand it
Confusion about why these memories affect me
Why it should bother my mind
Questioning why they trouble my thoughts
For it all belongs to
These memories belong to a different time and place
another place and time
They are not relevant to the present
Just a few old keep-sakes
Referring to a few nostalgic objects
Way back on the shelf
Stored away in the past
Well, they don't mean nothin'
They hold no significant value
Well I'm surprised that they're left
Surprised that they remain
Just a few old love letters
Referring to preserved affectionate written notes
With the edges all brown
Showing signs of age
And an old faded picture
An aged photograph kept facing downwards
I keep turned upside-down
Deliberately kept hidden or disregarded
Just a few old memories
Recalling distant memories
Going way back in time
From a long time ago
Well I can hardly remember
Struggling to recall them clearly
I don't know why I'm crying
Feeling emotional without understanding the reason
I can't understand it
Perplexed by the impact of these memories
Well I'm surprised at myself
Surprised by personal emotional reaction
First thing tomorrow morning
Planning to tidy up or remove these items
I'm gonna clean off that shelf
Deciding to take action regarding the memories
Just a few old keepsakes
Reiterating the presence of nostalgic objects
Way back on the shelf
Placed away in the past
No, they don't mean nothin'
Emphasizing their lack of significance
I'm surprised that they're left
Expressing surprise at their retention
Just a few old love letters
Referring again to aged affectionate letters
With their edges all brown
Describing their aged appearance
And an old faded picture
An old photograph kept facing away from view
I keep turned upside-down
Continuing to ignore or hide this particular memory
