[Intro] [Verse 1] The kettle's gone and the hooks are bare Sun through the curtains on a strip of stair I can still hear Sunday in the floor But the rooms don't answer any more [Verse 2] Tape on the cardboard, names in a pen Kitchen to landing, then back again A scuff on the doorframe I used to hate I'd buy it back now, a little too late [Chorus] Boxes in the hallway Stacked up to the light Everything we lived here Folded out of sight Boxes in the hallway The van is at the kerb I'm walking through the quiet Of a house that I was sure would always hold us [Verse 3] Dust in the sun where the sofa sat A faded rectangle, and that is that I close the last window, I pocket the key It never did belong just to me [Chorus] Boxes in the hallway Stacked up to the light Everything we lived here Folded out of sight Boxes in the hallway The van is at the kerb I'm walking through the quiet Of a house that I was sure would always hold us [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] If a hallway could talk it would ask me to stay But the lock has been changed and they need me out today [Final Chorus] Boxes in the hallway Stacked up to the light Everything we lived here Folded out of sight Boxes in the hallway I shut the door slow Whatever we were here I pack it up and go [Outro] [End]
