Running Away, On Empty

Wednesday, May 12, 2010

You listed my value like this was a yard sale
Listed my features like an old stereo
Though I can see how you drew the comparison
I used to sing to you, I used to bring to you
Feelings you just couldn't get anywhere else

But all the same, this is too late a date
They've put out the new model
And the scratches on my shell are evident
We both know how this has to go

So what's sentimental have to do
With what you've gotten yourself into
So what's sentimental have to do
With what you're about to

But oh, your mother pulls me off the table
Says you're not thinking clearly, you're not stable
You'll want to keep him on the shelf, a reminder
Though I can see how she is so mistaken
I'm the only thing left of you that this new life hasn't taken

But all the same, this is too late a date
They've put out the new model
And the scratches on my shell are evident
We both know how this has to go

So what's sentimental have to do
With what you've gotten yourself into
So what's sentimental have to do
With what you're about to

And the little girl who asks her mother
If she can have me, is in for a surprise
Cause despite the information stated
You never took into account how jaded, this experience
Has made me now

But all the same, this is too late a date
They've put out the new model
And the scratches on my shell are evident
We both know how this has to go

So what's sentimental have to do
With what you've gotten yourself into
So what's sentimental have to do
With what you're about to
Whats it have to do
With what you're about
To lose
