Lyrics

[Verse 1]
After work, I paced my desktop
And went out for a-walkin'
The closest liquor store had just ran out of boxes
So I went down to Bogart to get more cardboard boxes
For the move
[Verse 2]
As I wished that I could drink
What was once sold in these boxes
The sky started to rain and my guts felt nauseous
'Cause I couldn't tell you
That my heart had been starting to move
[Verse 3]
Had to struggle down the road with fifteen soggy boxes
The rope had cut my skin and the boxes, I kept dropping
Yeah
I'm boxing out my best friend
At least I'll do a good job for the move
[Verse 4]
I'm lying to my best friend
At least I'll do a good job for the move
[Verse 5]
When I came home, you were sleeping
Surrounded by boxes
Read a Christmas card from you
And put it in my pocket
Hid a picture of the two of you
You were sitting, smilin' in a photo booth
[Verse 6]
As I tiptoed 'round the couch
Tripped, ripped lamp out of socket
I was stacking til the sun rose, couldn't stop packing boxes
It dawned on me abruptly as I emptied out all the contents
From the room
[Verse 7]
And I thought back to the time
When we were both sick
And I held on to your hand in the back of the ambulance
Now, I'm holding on to masking taping up these boxes for the move
Now I'm wearing lots of masks and taping up these boxes for the move
And, you know, I hate to make you cry, so now
I'm taping up these boxes for the move
