Shoe Box

A key in the door, a step on the floor

A note on the table and a meal in the micro

Note says I'm in bed, please make sure that you're fed

If you're taking a shower, you can borrow my bathrobe

When I'm asleep, I dream you move in next week

I crumple the note and save it to put inside

My shoe box (Shoe box)

Shoe box of lies

It's under my bed, it's never been read

It's in with my school stuff and my mom never cleans there

From my first little fib when I still wore a bib

To my latest attempt at pretending I'm someone

Who's not 17, doesn't know what you mean

When talk turns to single malts or stilton or

My shoe box (Shoe box)

Shoe box of lies

Shoe box (Shoe box)

Shoe box of lies

Did somebody tell you this is how it's supposed to be?

Or did you just find it and you don't want any more from me?

Was it something I said? Or was it something you read?

That's making me think that I should never have come here

I can offer you lies, I can tell you goodbye

I can tell you I'm sorry, but I can't tell the truth, dear

And what if I could? Would it do any good?

You'll still never get to see the contents of

My shoe box (Shoe box)

Shoe box of lies

My shoe box (Shoe box)

Shoe box of lies

(Whoa) You're so 1990

(Oh) And it's 1994

(Oh) Leave this world behind me

'Cause you don't want me anymore

Lie, eee ay, eee ay, eee ay

Lie, eee ay, eee ay, eee ay

Lie, eee ay, eee ay, eee ay

Lie, eee ay, eee ay, eee ay

Lie, eee ay

Lie, eee ay

Lie, eee ay, eee ay, eee ay

Lie, eee ay, eee ay, eee ay

Eee ay, eee ay, eee ay, eee ay

Lie, eee ay

Lie, eee ay

Lie, eee ay, eee ay, eee ay

Eee ay
