11 You Only Like Old Things

You Only Like Old Things
Beth Wood – Mehaffey Publishing ASCAP, Stephen Mougin – Timberdoodle Tunes ASCAP

An old fountain pen still warm from your hand writing memories
A gold pocket-watch is ticking away on the shelf
A turntable spins and Lady Day’s singing a melody
Making me feel the heartache that she felt.

Stepping into this room like I’m stepping back in time
Back when life was simple
Standing here in my new dress/suit wondering what it all means cause you only like old things

yellowed guitar with rusty old strings in the corner
begging someone to take her and pick out a tune
framed photographs hung like a badge of honor
faces of friends and family light up the room

will I ever be part of your sepiatone world
why can’t life be simple
Standing here in full color wondering what it all means
cause you only like old things

It’s just like you to like old things it’s just like me to be new
It’s just like fate to leave me wishing you could treasure me, too

Standing here beside you, still wondering what it all means
cause you only like old things
