"Box In The Basement" lyrics

Just a box in the basement
Every night that we spent in Boston
All the time that just got forgotten
And it's not worth saving
What we kept 'cause it couldn't keep us
What we lost still never leaves us in the end

There's nothing on TV
This bedroom is empty
(And I know that you won't come through
I'll still leave the light on for you)
It's getting pathetic
That I can't forget it
(This constant ache I can't ignore
Hold out and wait for something more)

Buried deep
Wrapped in linen sheets
But we both know
It's better left alone

Just a box in the basement
Every night that we spent in Boston
All the time that just got forgotten in the end
And it's not worth saving
What we kept 'cause it couldn't keep us
What we lost still never leaves us in the end

This visceral dread leads to pulling my threads
'Til I can't unravel anymore
('Til I can't unravel anymore)
And I tried not to care
But it's too much to bear
With all your things still in my drawer
(Still in my drawer)

Buried deep
Wrapped in linen sheets
But we both know
It's better left alone

Just a box in the basement
Every night that we spent in Boston
All the time that just got forgotten in the end
And it's not worth saving
What we kept 'cause it couldn't keep us
What we lost still never leaves us

In the end
You'll find
That everything is just another stain
It never seems to go away
So long
Farewell
How could something that meant everything
Not be worth remembering?

It's just a box in the basement
Every night that we spent in Boston
All the time that just got forgotten in the end
And it's not worth saving
What we kept 'cause it couldn't keep us
What we lost still never leaves us in the end
