Song Commentary:
MINT CONDITION

This song has been with me a long time but never felt like it fit onto an album until now. I think I had to grow into it. It is the heartbeat of this record. I was thinking about my grandparents when I wrote it. It’s a song that I barely remember writing, it came so quickly (except for the third verse, which came to me a year later) it felt like it came from someone or someplace else.

LYRICS: Mint Condition
Caroline Spence
(Tiny Shop Publishing/ASCAP, 2013)

My favorite things are tired and worn
A dog-eared book with the cover torn
But when I see you it's like the very first day
There are some things you don't want to fade

Still in mint condition, mint condition
Like when we were two kids just hopin’ and wishin’
That this life that we see ain't no apparition
So we keep our love in mint condition

You can hide love away in a trunk or a box
You can throw out the keys once you lock all the locks
But some things they last and some things they won't
But nothing about you ever gets old

Still in mint condition, mint condition
Like when we were two kids just hopin’ and wishin’
That this life that we see ain't no apparition
So we keep our love in mint condition

Our bodies, they age, wrinkle, and tire
That feeling of comfort overtakes desire
I might have to learn to live here alone
But I'll love you through ash or through stone

Still in mint condition, mint condition
Like when we were two kids just hopin' and wishin'
That this life that we see ain't no apparition
So we keep our love in mint condition
‘Cause we're still just two kids hopin' and wishin'
That we keep our love in mint condition
