The Collector

They call me the collector
I've been that way right from the start
Cos' I'll find a little memory
And put it right beside my heart
When the shoebox is overflowing
I put it on the shelf
It's only then I take a good look
I take another good look at myself
But today I've stopped collecting
Cos' I've got everything I need
While there maybe recollection
I finally believe

That I have found the answer
In you and you alone
Cos' you live in the present
And I'm about to call that home
Was all this time I wasted
Saving up my past
A lesson that I had to learn
Or just a reason to be sad
But today I've stopped collecting
Cos' I've got everything I need
While there may be recollection
I finally believe
That now I'll start the living
I've always longed to lead
With pictures and mementos
Just fading memories
They call me the collector
