Box & Knife - Malcolm Middleton

I’ve got a box

I’ve got a knife

I’ve got a door that leads out of life

Absent lovers

Broken friends

Give me 6,7,8,9,10

It’s coming around again

Taking my turn on the turning wheel

I’m coming around again

Give me a book

Or a line

A song to console my mind

Sing it right

Don’t pretend

Give me 6,7,8,9,10

It’s coming around again

Taking my turn on the turning wheel

I’m coming around again

Give me a book or a line

That relates to my time and my sickness

A song that consoles my mind

Written by someone who knows how I feel

Who’s been through the same and can tell me it’s real

Solve the problem that’s inside my head

Write an equation, present to my friends

Let them know that I try, and I care, but I can’t anymore

Tell me it’ll be alright

With my box and my knife, and my door out of life

Tell me it’ll be alright

With my book, and my line, give me a look or some wine

Tell me it’ll all be fine

With my box and my knife, and my door out of life

Tell me it’ll be alright

With my box and my knife, and my door out of life

Tell me it’ll be alright

With my box and my knife, and my door out of life

Tell me it’ll be alright

With my box and my knife, and my door out of life

Tell me it’ll be alright

Tell me it’ll be alright

Tell me it’ll be alright

Tell me it’ll be alright

Tell me it’ll be alright
