Augustana "Little Box"

 

Retz14

[intro] 

if there was someway i could compile all my feelings
i would wrap them all together and throw them in a box
and then i'd send it straight to you
'cause that's the way we live our lives
and i'd pray that you get it
in the next few days or less

if i could write you just one song
i'd tell you time will move along
you're beautiful and nothing's gonna change
if i could only make my words
flow into streams of different verses
all the colors of the world
throwin' them all together in your box

(chorus)

forgive me as i masquerade
outside on your promenade
to see me as i really am
would surely put you down
and as i keep this strum alive
this wooden body tells no lies
throwin' it all together to send to you
in your little box

millions of little pixels
and a thousand moving frames
i'm lookin' straight into your eyes
but somehow it's just not the same
i'm really sorry for all the stupid things
i keep you up about
truth be told i have a problem sayin' goodbye to you
i'd just rather say goodnight
 
(chorus)
forgive me as i masquerade
outside on your promenade
to see me as i really am
would surely put you down
and as i keep this strum alive
this wooden body tells no lies
throwin' it all together to send to you
in your little box

[instrumental]

The grass outside is finally green
with little buds up in the trees
i'm fixin' up a package that's ready to fly on down
I'll try and fit myself inside
i hope it's not a bumpy ride
but any ride to you is a ride worth hitchin'

(chorus)
forgive me as i masquerade
outside on your promenade
to see me as i really am
would surely put you down
and as i keep this strum alive
this wooden body tells no lies
throwin' it all together to send to you
in your little box
