Black Box Lyrics

I keep the songs I wrote in my wallet

On napkins and newspaper clippings that I scribbled on in the afternoon

And somewhere out there is my locket

I lost it

And I don't think that I could find it even if you asked me to

Feelings I keep them in my pocket

But they come out like a landslide sometimes

Have you ever felt guilt in your fingers

It holds tight and lingers like a shadow in the summer wind

And I could let it go if I wanted

But I know I could find a black box to put it in

I keep sadness and anger behind me

But they like to sneak up on me sometimes

I like to think I re-wrote my story,

But I still see the stains in the margin lines

Oh we've all got ghosts in our closet

We keep it tidy and clean

but we know there's some coats that they like to hide behind

I could take them out if I wanted

But I know I might like to wear them in the winter time

They keep me warm when I need it

When I'm waiting for the storm to begin

And I could let it go if I wanted

but I know I could find a black box to put it in
