Taping Things To Walls Lyrics

Broken bracelets and stickers, photographs

Old posters, notecards, sticky notes

Old paintings and drawings given as gifts

Postcards, dried flowers, paper cranes

Polaroids, thumbtacks, business cards

String lights, fliers, a calendar stuck in 2021

I tape these things to my walls

Surrounding me with all of my life

Good memories that have stayed with me

Through the highs and lows

As a kid I would run outside and play out in the yard

I climbed the trees, imagining my adventures

My dad used to tell me stories before I went to sleep at night

Going through my teen years, I learned a lot of things

Figured out who I am

I take these things off my walls

Pack them into boxes to send them away

It's time for me to leave, time for me to go

I'm growing older, I'm not a child anymore

I'm moving on to a new part of life

Thank you to the ones who raised me

I've had a good childhood

But I can't stay here forever

I need to move on

It's time to say goodbye to the memories taped on my walls
