Cover art for Shoebox In My Closet lyrics by Catch 22

here i am alone again with a shoebox in the closet as my only friend but i dont let that bother me because i got myself and i set myself free. im alone when i'm with EVERYBODY ELSE. so take it easy take it easy take it easy.

this is my favorite catch-22 song, i used to listen to it my sophomore year in college which was like 10 years ago in 1997-98. i haven't heard it in awhile but i believe it doesn't have horns, its more of a punk song. i think its about how his only friend is the memories he has collected, like of his past, photographs, etc which he keeps in a shoebox. he also feels awkward and nervous when hes in social situations.
