Boxes on the Lawn
I close up the house now on this sad affair
Very last step of a thousand steps there
And we'll never reach the, ever reach the sky now
I don't care
He called me a liar when I told him I loved him
And I thought it was plain as the sky above him
He called me a liar, yeah, he called me a liar
Now here's these boxes piled up on the lawn
And I say to myself, "In a little while, I'll be gone"
And he will just turn back into the house and go on
And my car will drive away and turn into a song, yeah
He got the lampshade, I got the cat
Strange sensation, coming down to that
Strange sensation, coming down to that
He's got the four walls and I've got the sky of gray
He said he'd like to get out of harm's way, get out, baby
And now here's these boxes piled up on the lawn
And I say to myself, "In a little while, I'll be gone"
And he will just turn back into the house and go on
And my car will drive away and turn into a song, oh, yeah
Wants me to understand, yes, he wants me to say
How I understand we're better off this way
Wants me to pack my things and he wants me go
But he sure does care about me, oh, yes, he wants me to know
And I got these boxes piled up on the lawn
And I say to myself, "In a little while, I'll be gone"
And he will just turn back into the house and go on
And my car will drive away and turn into a song, yeah
