lyrics

I lost all our conversations to a data backup failure
I stood in silence and felt a little stunned
Two years of blue notes, two years of grey
Back and forth to each other, gone

Sentimental, sentimental
This heart's a home for rental
Cuz you won't put the money down
Sentimental, sentimental
This heart's a home for rental
Cuz you won't put the money down

My mother's mother had a costume jewelry box
She'd give me little treasures when I was good
She's been gone for so long now but I feel like holding on
So tightly, like a good girl should

Sentimental, sentimental
I'm a necklace made of nickel
Wishing I could be the real thing
Sentimental, sentimental
I'm a necklace made of nickel
Wishing I could be the real thing

Losing since the day I learned to own
Everything and often, as I go around the sun
I try to hold you like a melody in my head
Can I only write it down so I won't forget?

All the songs and poems that got me through the winter
They up and vanished, no trace, no paper trail
But the words swim in misty corners of my mind
All those treasures beyond the veil

Sentimental, sentimental
What seems accidental is teaching me
To be free
Sentimental, sentimental
What seems accidental is teaching me
To be free
