Words and music by Matt Phillips

lyrics

Did I give you everything you needed?

Did I shield you from the cold?

Did I take the time to listen

To all the things I wasn’t supposed to know?

Yeah, I know about your childhood

And what your cousin did to you

Don’t have time for your excuses

I don’t make time to play the fool

Well, did nobody treat you right back home?

Did somebody let you down?

Well did nobody treat you right back home?

Put your shoebox back in the ground

I don’t have time for your memories now

Yeah I know what I’ve been missing,

Yeah I know it isn’t you

I’m trying to find something that’s easy,

Not fake the love you’re trying to prove

You think I like to be your counselor?

You think I love it when I’m right?

I don’t like knowing all the answers

Takes all the learning out of my life

Well did nobody treat you right back home?

Did somebody let you down?

Well did nobody treat you right back home?

Put your shoebox back in the ground

I don’t have time for your memories now

I’m not your doctor, I’ll never be

So don’t set your sights on marrying me

Sure I understand you, yeah I know you best

But I’ve yet to find a girl who can handle my head

I don’t have time for all your problems

I’ve got heartache of my own

At least I found a way of dealing

Outside of running or going back home

You found a place for all your feelings

In your shoebox in the dirt

Well you try to express and get it all off your chest

Every day takes a little more work

Well did nobody treat you right back home?

Did somebody let you down?

Well did nobody treat you right back home?

Put your shoebox back in the ground

I don’t have time for your memories now
