Boxes

I Need a family to drive me crazy
Call me out when I'm low and lazy
Won't be perfect But well be fine
Cause I've got your back And you've got mine
You've got mine
We'll have tiny boxes for memories
Open 'em up and we'll set them free
They'll be bad days
And some hard times
But I'll keep your secrets
If you'll keep mine
You are the memory that won't ever lapse
When 25 years have suddenly passed
Wherever you take me it's clear I will go
Your loves the one love that I need to know
Your loves the one love that I need to know
Take my picture and then you laugh
Cause I hate the way I look in photographs
Keep your memories but don't live the past
I'm looking forward to the best days we'll have
You are the memory that won't ever lapse
When 25 years have suddenly passed
Wherever you take me it's clear I will go
Your loves the one love that I need to know
You are the sun in the desolate sky
Your life's in these words and that can't be denied
Wherever you take me It's clear I will go
Your loves the one love that I need to know
Your loves the one love that I need to know
You can cry away all your complicated memories
That keep you up so many nights
And darling save your apologies
Cause I know that your scared but
I swear you'll be alright
I swear you're all right
You're alright
When the answers escape us and we start to fade
Remember who loved you and the ones who have stayed
Cause my body will fail but My soul will go on
So don't you get lonely I'm right where you are
You are the memory that I won't ever lapse
When 25 years have suddenly passed
Wherever you take me it's clear I will go
Your loves the one love that I need to know
You are the sun in the desolate sky
And Your life's in these words and that can't be denied
Wherever you take me it's clear I will go
Your loves the one love that I need to know
Your loves the one love that I need to know
