lyrics

You wore that salt and pepper sweater for a whole semester
by december you were stitching up a couple letters
'cause you can't let it go
it held some meaning months ago
you're a frayed seam you can't sew

you got your ex's sweat-stained tee
and a borrowed pair of bootcut jeans
with nothing underneath
save for a shame you can't set free

so you take 'em to the yard sale
see what you can get
your salt and pepper memories
black and white regrets
all you thought could last forever
hasn't lasted yet
so you're selling all your memories
and taking any offer you can get

You burned a hole right through the sole of both your favourite sneakers
while you were fleeing from the scene of previous misdemeanours
they never fit you right
your love and pain were intertwined
in a double knot that's tied too tight
you got a new replacement pair
down in the basement you won't wear
once you laced them up upstairs prepared to run to who knows where

so you take 'em to the yard sale
see what you can get
your salt and pepper memories
black and white regrets
all you thought could last forever
hasn't lasted yet
so you're selling all your memories
and taking any offer you can get

All your good will's gone away
your salvation can't be saved
close the closet, fold the clothes
take one last look and let it go

so you take 'em to the yard sale
see what you can get
your salt and pepper memories
black and white regrets
all you thought could last forever
hasn't lasted yet
so you're selling all your memories
and taking any offer you can get
