[verse] Everything has an end Like the foot of my bed, she said Dead is just a word for ahead so pretend [verse] Like the flowers around me were to help me sleep soundly and the chill on my skin were to keep the warmth in These are our permanent circumstances a history of looks and stolen glances [Instrumental] [Verse] But I find that with time and a gentle smile that mem'ries and kind thoughts can give second chances We're not the same people we used to be a helplessly hopeful small family [Bridge] but now there's a chasm so wide right between us and naysayers with very sharp teeth beneath us a sky filled with vultures sends hail down to meet us a blistering wind touched our hearts - don't you feel it? I can feel it [Chorus] after all what's a life outside the box If all YOU do is put me back IN the box When I die they'll lower me in a box It's the box that defines, not the truth or the lies inside [Chorus] after all what's a life outside the box If all YOU do is put me back IN the box When I die they'll lower me in a box It's the box that defines, not the truth or the lies inside [instrumental] [Guitar Solo] [Outro] On the corner of tri-state and grand I noticed a pile of glass I couldn't stop myself but think that It could have been us by chance In the glow where the red and blue lights flash that could have been us by chance [end]
