Brown Boxes Lyrics

I've got this notion,
that moving out is better,
Than this commotion,
if she complains I wont let her,

Tell me what to do
and when she wants to argue
ill remind her that were through

A late reminder,
and post-it notes and markers,
were it not kinder her black eye would be darker,

And all these brown boxes havent helped me move one bit
in half-empty rooms they sit,

Stay thats where they will stay
I could never say,
I would never say,
"This is over"

I've got this cupid
hummel from Wilhelms Sackett
Its pretty stupid, but none-the-less ill pack it
and this boxcutters too dull,
other wise id end it all,
theres still boxes in the hall,

And stay, thats where they will stay,
I could never place any other blame,
And how could you even go,
on living if its so, unintentional,
I'd like to know

This song's great. "This boxcutter's too dull otherwise i'd end it all" hahah, brilliant.

And plus they use kazoos...and that's always good!

The last line is "I'd like to know" and it's small but the line is "in post it notes and marker"

This song is about breaking into people's homes and taking their stuff, but he's sad because McDonald's stopped doing Super Size. Whatever! It's also about the Royal Tenanbaums, when Richie slits his wrists because his sister/love is sleeping with his friend.

It's definately a Cupid Hummel from...somewhere, i don't know the next line. But yeah, great song.

this song seems to be about a break-up, I think. or, at least, moving out.

"I've got this notion that moving out is better Than this commotion; If she complains I won't let her Tell me what to do And if she wants to argue I'll remind her that we're through" he's saying: 'ive got to move out 'cos this sucks, and if she tries to persuade me otherwise remind her that we've broken up!'

"And all these brown boxes Haven't helped me move one bit In half-empty rooms they sit Stay, that's where they will stay I could never say I would never say: 'This is over'" 'I've got all these unpacked boxes, but I don't wanna go anywhere! it's hard breaking up.:('

"I've got this Cupid Hummel from (?)Wool-N-Sackit(?) It's pretty stupid, but nonetheless I'll pack it" 'I can't leave it for her!'

"And this box-cutter's too dull Otherwise I'd end it all" 'If this box-cutter was sharp enough, I'd kill myself and end it all.'

"And stay, that's where they will stay I could never place any other blame And how could you even go on living if it's so unintentional? I'd like to know"

'those boxes aren't moving; I can't blame anyone but myself; how can one go on living after a travesty such as this? That's what I'd like to know.'

That's my theory. :)

I love how upbeat the music is, yet the lyrics are fairly dark and downbeat. Very Beulah-y.
