lyrics

Two Suitcases

(Verse)
All these pictures bring back faded revery
But who’s this person, the one who made those memories?
Are you caught inside a picture frame
Or lost behind a window pane?

All these boxes filled with fragments from the past
Buried treasure she hoped would make the moments last
and now you’re trapped behind these plaster walls
Thinking maybe you were better off

(Chorus)
With just two suitcases
And that rusty beat-up car
Two suitcases
And time to stare up at the stars
How these paths diverged so suddenly
Did I choose this or did it choose me?
Guess I’ll let those two suitcases be

(Verse)
Through these windows, there are marigolds in bloom
A mother’s present from a child who grew too soon
They explode upon these fields of green
And remind me of all these eyes have seen

This old piano, all the stories it could tell
About little fingers casting their first spells
I can almost hear those melodies
But I’m too lost in thoughts of what could be

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Always speaking in past tenses
Peeking through the fences
Thinking of jumping to the other side
The grass there might look greener
‘Cause here the shade’s much deeper
I'll see it when I open my eyes
And then I’ll find a way to just put aside

(Chorus)
Those two suitcases
and that rusty beat up car
Two suitcases
From here I still can see the stars
And I’ll cherish all those memories
Ya know they’ll always be a part of me
But it’s time to love the life I lead
And let those two suitcases be
