[Intro] [Clipped electronic percussion, tense fretless bass accent] [Verse 1] Too many names written in the sand Too many promises I couldn't keep I gave away pieces of who I am Left myself hollow, left myself deep Now every word feels borrowed and old A bank of debt that I can't clear Standing outside in the bitter cold Watching the ghost of what's right here [Pre-Chorus] I build the walls of my own wooden shell Cardboard corners and a heavy key I know your eyes and I know them well But there is nothing left inside of me [Chorus] Stuck in a box, watching you pass by Watching the love that was meant for us die I gave it all away to the wrong ones first Now I'm unredeemable, bound by the curse Stuck in a box, watching you pass by Yeah, watching the love that was meant for us die [Verse 2] Syncopated shadows on the bedroom floor Every past mistake is a closed-up door I see your silhouette, clear as day Holding the key that I threw away Lost in the puzzle, confused in the dark No spark left to light up your mark [Chorus] Stuck in a box, watching you pass by Watching the love that was meant for us die I gave it all away to the wrong ones first Now I'm unredeemable, bound by the curse Stuck in a box, watching you pass by Yeah, watching the love that was meant for us die [Bridge] [Odd-meter instrumental turn, elastic fretless bass fills, shifting signatures] Unredeemable... confused in the light... I used up my heart before you arrived tonight... [Chorus] Stuck in a box, watching you pass by Watching the love that was meant for us die I gave it all away to the wrong ones first Now I'm unredeemable, bound by the curse Stuck in a box, watching you pass by Yeah, watching the love that was meant for us die [Outro] Too late, too late... Stuck in a box... Watching you pass by... [Fade out with syncopated slap bass and clipped electronic beats]
