Pack It Up
Album: Across the Frequency
Lyrics by Melissa Bianco
Reflective 1980s-inspired pop rock with clean guitars, warm synths, and strong, controlled female vocals, about letting go of the past and choosing to move forward.
Lyrics
Touching artifacts from another time
Things I carried once as mine
This piece brings a smile
That one makes me cry
Familiar traces I still miss
Echoes I can’t dismiss
Memory’s a crooked road
Steers me where I refuse to go
When I touch, I feel
Decades of memories
They pull me close
Still, I let go
Read the last line
Now is the time
You’ve done enough
Now pack it up
Don’t cling to yesterday
It’s gone now, far away
Close the attic door
Life can be so much more
I won’t live inside the past
Pain was never built to last
It had focus, it had direction
Forced my self-reflection
Don’t romanticize those better days
Polishing what time erased
I’m here now, this is real
It’s the best way time can heal
It’s time to say goodbye
No need to cry
Read the last line
Now is the time
You’ve done enough
Now pack it up
Don’t cling to yesterday
It’s gone now, far away
Close the attic door
Life can be so much more
Echoes and memories
Those days asked very little
I’ve stayed too long
It’s time to move on
I read the last line
Now was the time
I’d done enough
I packed it up
I put it down, walked away
My new life started this way
