Cardboard Box

She gave me a message the other day and told me hey
She's now off the mainland, hired a car to check the beaches out
And about sunburnt but otherwise, doin' fine
She asked me if I'm looking forward to her returning soon
Sure I was

Hold up... I took a breath and kept it short 'n sweet yeah
It's gonna be a good two weeks till she gets back
In the meantime you know where I'll be, gathering dust

Just like her cardboard box under my bed
It's not too hard sure, I know whats in her head
She's not stickin' around
She's gonna check out the next town
She's not stickin' around
She's gonna leave and let me down

She uploaded photos the other night, what a sight
Made me really miss her, but damned if I was gonna tell her
Writing back to her, on second thought she just bought
Another ticket to the north, forgot the name
Somewhere on the east coast

Hold up... I took a breath and kept it short 'n sweet yeah
It's gonna be a good two weeks till she gets back
In the meantime you know where I'll be, gathering dust

Just like her cardboard box under my bed
It's not too hard sure, I know whats in her head
She's not stickin' around
She's gonna check out the next town
She's not stickin' around
She's gonna leave and let me down

Yes I know, she's really gotta go
And who am I to ask her to stay
When I know... there really is no way
I guess theres nothing left to say
But savour this sweet moment
And smile away

Just like her cardboard box under my bed
It's not too hard sure, I know whats in her head
She's not stickin' around
She's gonna check out the next town
She's not stickin' around
She's gonna leave and let me down
