Can the Can
Kenny Lyrics

Postcards and letters and pictures
Physical reminders of our memories, captured in postcards, letters, and pictures.

Made to last forever
These postcards, letters, and pictures were created with the intention of lasting a lifetime.

To be boxed up and tossed away
Despite this intention, they often end up forgotten and discarded.

Knick knacks and souvenirs
Similar to postcards and pictures, souvenirs and knick-knacks hold sentimental value.

In an afternoon they're out of here
However, they can be easily given away or thrown out, losing any significance they had.

Have disappeared without a trace
Once they are gone, they leave no lasting impact or evidence.

But what they mean to me can never be erased
Despite their physical disappearance, the memories and emotions associated with these items stay with us forever.

I can't unthink about you
The memories of this person are permanently ingrained in my mind and cannot be forgotten.

I can't unfeel your touch
The physical touch of this person cannot be erased from my memory or emotions.

I can't unhear all the words
The words said by this person are still present in my mind and cannot be unheard.

Unsay all the things
Anything I have said to this person cannot be unsaid or taken back.

That used to mean so much
These words and things were important to me at one point in time.

Wish I could unremember
There are memories associated with this person that I wish I could forget.

Everything my heart's been through
The emotions and experiences my heart has endured regarding this person cannot be erased.

And finding out it's impossible to do
I have come to the realization that these memories and emotions cannot be undone or forgotten.

Oh it's no use
Trying to forget or undo these memories and emotions is futile.

I can't unlove you
Despite wishing I could forget or undo these feelings, I still love this person and that love cannot be erased.

Interstates and old songs
Interstates and old songs are timeless and continue to exist through the years.

Like time they go on and on
Similar to time, these things seem to continue on and on without end.

I guess could learn to do the same
Perhaps I can learn to move forward and continue on like interstates and old songs.

I can wake up without you
Despite my love for you, I can wake up without you and carry on with my life.

These two arms not around you
Although I miss you, my two arms can live without holding or embracing you.

Tell myself it was meant to be this way
I try to console myself by thinking that perhaps this is how things were meant to be.

No matter how I try
Despite my efforts, some things cannot be changed.
