I had it made the way you liked

Your parents said I could

I didn't get to sleep that night

But you, you barely moved

Life is boxes after boxes

Like the one at my apartment

Where I kept the ring for you

Time slipped, and I wish I could have stopped it

Stayed a circle 'til it wasn't

Life is only boxes after boxes

The guys that came to help me out

Were late the day we left

You brought out water to the front

And watched us as we packed

Life is boxes after boxes

When we moved across the country

To a place you barely knew

Time slipped, and I wish I could have stopped it

Stayed a circle 'til it wasn't

Life is only boxes after boxes

Life is boxes

Boxes are rooms, like our room, where they found you

Boxes are phones that call back with the bad news

Boxes are secrets you never would give up

Boxes are my heart that shattered when yours stopped

Life is boxes after boxes

And the last one was a coffin

As I said goodbye to you

Time slips, and we all wish we could stop it

Stays a circle 'til it doesn't

Life is only boxes after boxes

Life is boxes

Life is boxes

Life is boxes
