lyrics

There’s a little metal box and it sits in the corner of my room
One day I’m gonna fill it with things that I know have come good
But for now it’s sitting empty sitting there telling me
Nothing ever lasts only shadows that you’ve cast
It’s enough to make you wanna run

There’s a bird outside and she sings to me every day
She says don’t be so cynical listen to what I’ve gotta say
But she’s flying in circles kind of looking down on us
And I don’t know what I’m doing no one ever really does
It’s enough to make you wanna run

I don’t think about it any more
It’s just the mind that I am in
It’s just the mind that I am in
By all means keep showing me there’s more
But am I the guy who finds himself
Just liking to say no
I don’t know what that’s for

Well there’s a little metal box and it sits in the corner of my room
And one day I’m gonna fill it with things that I know have come good
But for now it’s sitting empty
Sitting there telling me
Nothing ever lasts
Better get on with it fast
It’s enough to make you wanna run
It’s enough to make you wanna run
