Painted over the walls the saddest color of blue
Posters covered in glass, favorite curbside grab
Red Valentine's card, stuck on the mirror to keep
Record player made of tubes spinning Tommy by The Who

There's no time
To waste
There's no time
To wait

Keys on the hook by the door for the truck sold years ago
Standing guitars in the case filling up closet space
Vintage 40's wardrobe, pink Emerson radio
Old lace dress I bought in the store, motorcycle boots on the floor

There's no time
To waste
There's no time
To wait

Sirens up on the street
Smoke is burning my eyes
And the neighbors are screaming at me
I can only carry one thing, I can only carry one thing

There's no time
To waste
There's no time
To wait

There's no time
To waste
There's no time
To wait
