"Avett Brothers" lyrics

Driving me to the airport, he's driving me insane
I've been trying all Christmas to quiet the voices in my brain
Saying we're not working when I've been working so hard
It was a slow-motion crash to the concrete
Watching us fall in love and fall apart

It's not been easy sorting your stuff off the shelf
It's not been easy being kind
Saying goodbye and I wish you well
And we're not making plans or music
Or talking anymore
But I got your Avett Brothers t-shirt
Safe and folded in the left side of the drawer

Just a little memento from a chapter in time
When you thought I was yours
And I thought you were mine
Just a tiny treasure from a love that didn't last
You're a dinosaur now, baby, in the museum
Of my broken-hearted past

It's not been easy sorting your stuff off the shelf
It's not been easy being kind
Saying goodbye and I wish you well
And we're not making plans or music
Or talking anymore
But I got your Avett Brothers t-shirt
Safe and folded in the left side of the drawer

Just assumed I could keep it
And wear it if I need it
Just assumed I could keep it
And wear it if I need it
Just assumed I could keep it
And wear it if I need it
Just assumed I could keep it
And wear it if I need it

I've been going backwards in my mind to before we met
There's a lot of things the last two years I find I regret
But you taking my picture in the backyard in your blue t-shirt
Is one of the only memories that doesn't seem to hurt

It's not been easy sorting your stuff off the shelf
It's not been easy being kind
Saying goodbye and I wish you well
And we're not making plans or music
Or talking anymore
But I got your Avett Brothers t-shirt
Safe and folded in the left side of the drawer

I'll keep your Avett Brothers t-shirt
Safe and folded in the left side of the drawer
