Pins and Polaroids Lyrics

You wonder why I look so young

You'll soon know why just hold your tongue

Step through my door

And try to ignore

My stature and my smile strong

Take your time to take it in

A lot of frames are held within

Your mouth may gape

As memories play

But follow me it will make sense

To the left

Past regrets

Then a right

Towards the hall with highlights of my life

Right there, the room you came for

No, not down

It's dark that place

Right before

A joyful showcase of best times

Right there, the room you came for

A room with pins waiting in a jar

The rest hold polaroids to a board

Notice that my life hasn't even reached

A quarter of these at least

All around you sit the dreams

Hung on walls to allude to things

That may or may not be

Guess we'll see

Now let me show you all the things

I could or could not ever be

A collage of things

I want to be

Futures that make my heart faster beat

You'll notice wrinkles brought by smile

My visage now holds fading eyes

But don't you mind

I'm doing fine

Just tell me now, do you think I

Lived it full

Did years justice

When I went

To go kick the bucket

Did the reaper drag me up

Or put his arm around my shoulder

En route to heaven

No more pins waiting in that jar

They all hold polaroids to the board

Notice all the big red x's searing through

The dreams all wasted

All around you sits the dust

Left over when my life did rust

Cause I stopped chasing dreams

What a waste
