All It Takes

(Album: Heart Shaped Bullet Hole - 2012)

Stack of vinyls at a yard sale
Cat chasing his own tail
Rerun of Murder, She Wrote

Triple chocolate ice cream
Red light in a daydream
Ticket stubs left in a coat
Sometimes that's all it takes

Jesus statue on a dashboard
A Ferris wheel on a boardwalk
Coffee mug stained with lipstick

Saturday blue skies
Sunday chicken fry
Monday morning calling in sick
Sometimes that's all it takes
Sometimes that's all it takes

Should memories be something you keep in a cardboard box?
A hard to reach place in the house?
It's up to you when you want to pull them out

Five strings on a six string
Initials on a gold ring
Anything Bruce Springsteen

Magnet from Mardi Gras
Back roads of Arkansas
Tylenol and nicotine
Sometimes that's all it takes
Sometimes that's all it takes

Should memories be something you keep in a cardboard box?
A hard to reach place in the house?
It's up to you when you want to pull them out

Every morning that I wake
Every heartbeat I make
Every night I close my eyes
Sometimes that's all it takes
Sometimes that's all it takes
To remind me of you
