Box It Up - Bill Wells

Take that polyester shirt you used to love to touch

All the records that we scratched when we drank too much

All the tickets and the trinkets and toys and such

And box it up for me

All the second hand books we bought but never read

And the kinky little secrets underneath our bed

The blood send to tell us our future’s dead

Box it up for me

Spoken: And so it turns out that we’re exactly who we thought we were.

There’s no redemptive arc.

There’s no shock and final twist.

Just the corniest

of cliches, in the ending that everyone predicted.

And the fading flavour of

the wrong lips kissed

Find that little check dress you wore in holiday

All the letters full of words we could never say

Every tender token we left on display

And box it up for me

All those polaroids you’ve hated of you in the shower

And the picture of us dancing at Blackpool Tower

Every burnt out candle, every dry, dead flower

Box it up for me

Box it up for me
