lyrics
BOX OF LETTERS
I can see your face as plain as day
With that litle scar above your left eye
From the time I tried to punch you out
For hurting my pride
And I’m slowly moving in
To my new apartment here on Queen Anne Hill
In one of these boxes I know I will find
All those letters you used to write to me
You liked that paper with blue lines
I’d read your words in bed at night
And wish like hell I was in your arms
And you were making love to me
You said you’d be my friend for life
You’ve got a family now, you’ve got a wife
And I got this dream I dream at night
Where you appear to me
And for a moment we’re alone
And I tell you what I’ve always known
That I’ll love you until the day I die
I’m gonna unpack my dishes, throw me a party
Invite my friends over and turn up the music
And in the back of my bedroom closet
I’m gonna shove that box with all your letters in it
And in the dark where no one can see them
Maybe a hand will shuffle the pages
And re-write the storyline, change out the ending
And give me, give me something I can live with
Give me something I can live with
I can see your face as plain as day
With that litle scar above your left eye
From the time I tried to punch you out
For hurting my pride
