Thoughts from the Drawer (NDC)

V6

[Intro] Darkness. Cardboard. Plastic. Then suddenly, you. [Verse 1] You opened up the box And stared at me Turned me in your hands Examined everything You raised an eyebrow Then you smiled I knew right then You had excellent taste [Pre-Chorus] You hid me in a drawer Like something valuable Away from everybody Just for you [Chorus] I was the greatest thing You'd ever bought No conversation No second thoughts I knew exactly Why I was made And judging by your face I was very good at it [Verse 2] There were weeks I barely saw the drawer Then nights when suddenly I mattered more Sometimes I heard Another voice outside And somehow those were always The quietest months of mine [Pre-Chorus] But sooner or later I'd see the light Your hand would reach inside And there I was [Chorus] I was the greatest thing You'd ever bought Always available Never distraught No flowers No promises No stupid games Just press the button And remember my name [Verse 3] Years passed By the opening of that drawer Different rooms Different floors Your face appeared Less often now And every time it did Something had changed One day you found me Underneath old clothes You held me up And laughed out loud I recognized that smile Immediately [Bridge] There it is That look again After all these years You remember Of course You do How could you forget me? [Outro] You carried me somewhere I'd never been White bag Cold air Morning light You looked at me One final time You smiled There it is That look again After all these years I knew it.
