The Steelwells - Boxes
Lyrics
I cut a hole in a box so my head would fit right through
I punched two holes in the sides so I can reach for you
I stepped right through the base so i could walk towards you
I tied a bow around my face so you know this was for you.

I sleep in a square little hole every night when i go to bed
circle girl triangle man are kicking boxes in my head
i am lost you are found these four corners just don't seem sound
maybe we could use some glue so I'll stay this way for you

So you know this one's for you
