Backstory:
The singer finds unused treasures as the family was closing up her aunt's house after she passed. The aunt was apparently saving them up for a special day that never came. The singer is determined to "wear out the things too good to use" during her lifetime. She's going to wear her "hot pink heels" rather than wear her sensible shoes everyday and watching life pass her by.
Lyrics:
We closed up Aunt May’s house soon after she passed
Found boxes of new shoes we didn’t know she had
Her crystal and china were in the attic safely stored
And I wondered what occasion she was saving them for
It made me sad but it made me see
That’s not the way my life’s gonna be
No I’m not waiting for some special day
Before I live life all the way
Gonna wear out the things too good to use
We can't take them with us anyhow
So I'll wear my hot pink heels right now
Won’t watch life just passin’ me by in my sensible shoes
I’ll use Sunday’s fancy china for Monday’s mac ‘n cheese
Eat popcorn on the sofa let the dog lie next to me
I’ll burn my scented candles and open my best wine
Share them with the one I love celebrate tonight
Life’s way too short to put it off too long
I want to use it all up before I’m gone
CHORUS
Right or wrong good or bad
No regrets or wish-I-hads
