Chinese Boxes

When I opened my eyes In the morning light just now I could not remember how I got to today I lifted a lid I looked in at yesterday And found another day hidden there inside This went on for a while Till I saw infinity, The holy trinity or whatever you will I thought about you And wondered how you got to be So far away from me staring down your own day Oh, girl, Chinese boxes All our black and whites Look a lot like shades of grey From so far away where I lie now We drifted apart I guess I never thought we would Have a Hollywood sunset end But there's no goodbyes 'Cause some doors never close And the doors we chose fell off the hinges Oh, girl, Chinese boxes I don't know if it's all for the best They say things happen for a reason I don't know 'cause I haven't seen the rest I'd have to see how it ends How it ends Something changed And it moved whole continents A massive shift in the tectonic plates I still draw blanks Do you feel that vertigo? Where'd the bottom go, how did we stand? When our eyes meet It opens endless spaces Like two mirrors facing on the bathroom walls Oh, girl, Chinese boxes And the mouths move around And toss off platitudes But the attitudes never really change I get scared when I think We never know anyone Breaking up moving on Illusions unchanged
