My X Box Lyrics

The other day friends were helping me move

When they found a box in the corner of my room

Inside was an old t-shirt, a teddy bear

And a white-gold necklace that I used to wear

They asked why I had all these random things

Like this old CD and a high school ring

I couldn't help but smile

Those are the slow songs that we played

When Bill and I danced all night in the rain

The high school ring from my first ex

I wore it on a chain around my neck

The t-shirt smells like Kenny's cologne

That's the teddy bear that he brought me home

Memories of my past loves

In my X box

When they dug just a little bit further down

They laughed about what they found

Pulled out a Matchbox car, a baseball cap

And a wadded up empty candy wrapper

They said I must be crazy to keep this stuff

To stir all these old feelings up

I couldn't help but smile

The car's a red Corvette just like Nick's

The ball cap I wore the first time we kissed

The candy wrapper might look like trash

So I don't know if you'll understand

We were both reaching for a peppermint

At that college party where I met Ben

Memories of my past loves

In my X box

There's the necklace with the hearts

That are intertwined

It broke the day

That Sam broke mine

That old box takes me back in time

Reminds me of the men in my life

It's warn and tattered and covered in dust

But I can't throw it out; it means too much

My heart's invested in these things I keep

So I'm putting them back and I'm gonna leave

Memories of my past loves

In my X box
