I'm sitting here with a piece of paper 
Said: 'Here's my number, won't you call me later?' 
I called you the next day 
And that's how we got started 
I'm sitting here thinking what we've been through 
In front a pile of things reminding me of you 
It's waited so much time 
Hardly takes up any space at all 
Things I saved for us to look at 
Now our future's lost in the past 
Gotta put it away 
Put it away 
I don't know how it can't fit '
Cause it's all we were 
It's all we ever had 
Memories, sitting all alone in a paperbag 
Maybe I should get rid of this 
But it's all the love 
It's all the dreams we had 
You and me, sitting on a shelf in a paperbag (sitting) 
The note you wrote me when we had our first ride 
The card you bought me after sharing our first night 
I know we had some bad 
But we've had lots of good times too 
Some tickets to a concert and a menu 
Some pictures from the night when 
I lost my shoe 
It's funny how these things 
Tell the story of our love affair 
Can't hold on to us no longer 
If I do I'm going under 
Gotta pack it away 
Pack it away 
I don't know how it can't fit '
Cause it's all we were 
It's all we ever had 
Memories, sitting all alone in a paperbag 
Maybe I should get rid of this 
But it's all the love 
It's all the dreams we had 
You and me, sitting on a shelf in a paperbag (sitting) 
Oooh, ooooh... 
I don't know how 
Ooh yay-yeah 
Memories, alone in a paperbag 
Oh my God, help me 
But it's all the love, it's all the dreams we had 
You and me, you and me, sitting on a shelf, sitting on a shelf 
I don't know how, hey-yey, yeah 
Memories, hey, maybe 
I should get, oh get rid of this 
But it's all the love, you and me 
Sitting on a shelf in a paperbag (sitting)
