Lyrics
Again I ended up in our old
Returning to the place where memories were made
neighborhood
The familiar area where past experiences occurred
to finally haul away that stack of wood
To finally remove a collection of wood
Im gonna build a box fill it to the top with your
Intention to construct a container
photographs and letters and all that you gave to
Filling the box with sentimental items like photographs and letters received during a happier time
me in the days when we were good
Referencing a period when the relationship was positive
Stanton says he'll sand it for me smooth
Someone named Stanton offering to smooth the box
I said dont bother just make sure it's water proof
Preference for waterproofing over a smooth finish
Im gonna build a box fill it to the top with your
Reiteration of the intent to create a container for sentimental items
photographs and letters and all that you gave to
Recollecting items symbolizing past affection
me in the days when we were good
Reflecting on the past when the relationship was positive
(instr)
Instrumental break
The lid has got to fit the top real tight
Desire for a tightly sealed lid to prevent easy access
To make it hard to get inside it late at night
Difficulty in accessing the stored items, possibly to avoid emotional pain
Im gonna build a box fill it to the top with your
Reiteration of the plan to fill the box with sentimental items
photographs and letters and all that you gave to
Repeated emphasis on the collection of meaningful items
me in the days when we were good
Reflection on a positive past in the relationship
Im gonna build a box fill it to the top with your
Reiteration of the plan to fill the box with sentimental items
photographs and letters and all that you gave to
Emphasizing the sentimental value of the items to be stored
me in the days when we were good
Reflection on a positive past in the relationship
the days when we were good
Recollection of a time when the relationship was positive
