ATTIC-THE-v1e
RICK 201912
 




 
 
VERSE1
Last night I climbed the attic stairs
To see if I could find
Something I had left up there
From a younger time
I reached the top pushed up the lid
The opening fell wide
I peered into the darkness
Then slowly climbed inside
 
VERSE2
I found the switch turned on the light
My eyes could clearly see
Boxes upon boxes -Full of things that made up me
Some were sealed tightly
On shelves where theyd been stored
some had fallen off
and spilled there contents on the floor
 
CHORUS
Scattered pictures tossed about
Of people I once knew
Tattered edges faded faces
One of which was you
Memories Id pushed away
Came rushing back as if to say
Something that they thought I didnt know
I can never really let you go
 
(INSTRUMENTAL)
 

 
VERSE3
I think about it even now
The day I saw you last
How it all came falling down
And slipped away so fast
As angry words were spilling out
I looked into your eyes
But all that I could see in them
Was something like surprise
 
CHORUS2
Sorrow over-whelms me
When I think of what Ive lost
Then a voice from inside tells me
Every choice comes with a cost
All those things you heard me say
Dont change the fact that still today
I can never really let you go
That is something you may never know
 
VERSE4
I searched and found why I had come
What I was looking for
quickly left that attic
With your picture on the floor
From time to time I know that I
Will climb those attics stairs
Retrieving some old memories
But leaving yours up there

 
(CHORUS2)
