Complicated Boxes ft. Hilary Tipps Lyrics

Rain pours sideways in

The place where cars have always been

These Christmas cartons lost their fight with time

Torn open once again faint smell of cinnamon

Lonesome glitter, tangled tree skirt fringe

The garland and the lights go up

Wrapping paper over plastic stuff

It's how I learned to box up all my love

Complicated boxes can't contain their contents

The day that Christ was born

You were first up in the morning

Coffee and sweet rolls opening bedroom doors

So proud of what you gave. All the hurt to erase

But the gifts I give you don't amount to much

When you open them up, the letdown comes

It's how I learned to box up all my love

Complicated boxes can't contain their contents

Heart shaped fears tucked deep within

You'll never know when you'll need them again

Now I'm the first awake

Sweet rolls in to bake

I close the door and take you from the shelf

I miss you a lot. There's just this haunted box

Maybe next year I'll return this dust

I'm sorry there were not enough boxes you could open up

To ever make you feel all of my love

Complicated boxes can't contain their contents

Complicated boxes
