lyrics

It started with a book
a simple simple book
along came another one
what did you do
put it on the shelf

then it was a letter from a friend
to make you feel better
along came another one
what did you do?
put it on the shelf

picked up a video game at the junk store
like you needed more
played it one time through
what did you do?
put it on the shelf

it was time for a new vacation
to get away from all the clutter you uttered

Over the years
there's many many things that you put on the shelf
shouldn't matter much any way come on now, take a look at yourself
used to pump iron every single day
what did you do?
put it on the shelf
an old broken guitar that you never play
put it on the shelf
a pair of roller skates from nineteen eighty six
don't fit anymore anyway
what did you do?
put it on the shelf

you can't keep everything that you get
in your life
you can't keep everything that you get
in your life
you can't keep everything that you get
in your life
