Takin' out my memories,
Puttin' a price on my past,
The first guitar I ever played,
The little birdhouse that I made,
Sarah's doll, Jackie's skates,
The mitt that once belonged to Michael,
Everything from books for board games,
Hockey sticks and unicycles.

Chorus
Once my treasures,
No longer needed.
Looking for a new home
Where they're well treated.
Could you be the one
To make them new again?

Here come the kids like good-natured pirates,
Scavenging for gold among once priceless plastic.
Here come the parents like good-natured tyrants,
Pirates begging, tyrants haggling, disputes between young and old.
How much is this ragged couch? 35, 15, 25, sold.

Chorus

Are we really ready to let this go?
Are we ready to say goodbye?
Running after as they pull away,
Who knew couches could make you cry?

Chorus

I hope you're the one
To make them new again.
