| Kevin Devine – This Box Is Empty Lyrics
| 18 years ago
|
from the lyric book. PS you guys should buy the disc, guys like kevin won't be able to afford to write and play if everyone downloads for free
she's crossing off the details and dusting off the picture frames. it's saturday. she's been waiting for the phone to ring (she'll be waiting all night) and it doesnt matter who's on the line, as long as the voice works, but you're too scared of what you might say.
So: you fake it out on paper, hypothetical and safer,
while she's thumbing through her catalogues picking birthday cards and finger scars.
I guess she's lonelier than you.
and if this box is empty, go out and find another one, whith a prettier design, and greater depth inside, and a lid to keep it all from spilling out.
you could fill it up with letter from back when things were better and both of you had blinders on and read storybooks together,
and you pretended awat all the bad things.
now, she disconnects her phone after the second ring.
and all the drama you could swallow could never check your ego. I guess no one's lonlier than you. |

he doesnt want his life that way, he's just trying to convince her (and himself) that he's ok, when the obvious message is he ain't. but he's scared she's gonna leave him. |

really great song. it's about trying to deal with a friend with mental health issues and the conflicts that involves. kinda obvious. there's a really good tab of it somewhere too. maybe not their best ever but the best of the last couple of albums. |

anyone else thought that when he says 'don't you get me started/don't you get me/don't you get me' he starts off saying 'don't get me angry' but the last times he's asking 'don't you understand me?' just a thought |
