lyrics

A box to put me in

Strike a match and shield your eyes, see beyond all there is to see
Then cast them upwards to the skies, and you’ll see where I long to be
You tantalize with tales of dreams, and contemplate what they might mean
But you can’t disguise or disregard, those dreams just don’t come true here where we are
Even when you wish upon a star

Make a list of all that’s lost, all that’s edges now are frayed
Try to calculate the cost, of all the love now gone astray
Some things are priceless from the start, and when they’re broke can’t be replaced
Some folks are born so very pure of heart, but purity, well that just goes to waste
Just disappears without a trace

When all your faith has been in vain, and everything you know can’t be unlearned
I’ll bind all my foolish words of hope together, set alight to them, stand back and watch them burn
When there’s no way back to the past, and no effective medicine
I’ll turn my hand to carpentry, build something that will last, and nevermore shall I want for again
Nothing more shall I want for again

Sour grapes and bitter sweethearts, another needle filled with sin
If our love is gone forever, build a box to put me in
And lower me on down, slowly down into the ground
Forsaking all that may yet lie in store
So this heartache won’t torment me anymore
That is now all I’m longing for.
