Intro
This Is A Song About Stuff
Verse 1
Oh, The Patagonia Fleece That I Grew Up In Was Stolen
And The Guitar That Taught Me To Play These Three Chords Is Broken
My Favorite Comic Books I Lent Away
Never Returned
And I Lost My Lucky Lighter, But
At Least She Burned
Verse 2
Every Day, It Gets Easier Than The One Before
Every Second, You Grow Further From The Last Time It Was Worn
I Thought That I Was The One Who Owned My Stuff, But I See Now
That If You're Crying Over Fabric
N.c.
It's The Other Way Around
Bridge
And Every Single Thing You Own Becomes
Baggage Eventually
Take It To Your Grave, Where It Won't Get Much Use!
And Every Person That You Love Will Be Outlived By Their Amenities
So Please Make Sure My Plastic Casket's Cute
N.c.
Because They're Going To Dig It Up
Again And Again And Again And Again And Again And Again
And Again And Again And Again And Again And Again And Again
And It Counts Each Time
Interlude
Verse 3
Oh, The Ankle Bracelet That You Braided Me Broke Off Last Night
I Was Fast Asleep When The Last Piece Of You Slipped From My Life
In The Morning, It Was Strewn Out In My Bed
It Looked Dead
And Reminded Me Of When This Girl At My School's Mom Passed And Some Kid Said
Every Day, It Gets Easier Than The One Before
Every Second, You Grow Further From Her Passing, Rest Assured
I Thought That Was The Last Thing That A Grieving Person Wants To Hear
But Fourteen Years Later It Would Appear
Outro
Sometimes The People That We Lose Become Characters In Your Memory
Because Pawpaw Was In My Dream
But It Was Not Quite Him
And Former Particles Of Stardust Will Say Things Like "Please Remember Me"
Before Becoming Particles Again
And Again And Again And Again And Again And Again And Again And Again
And Again And Again And Again And Again And Again
And It Counts Each Time
