Box & Knife Lyrics



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

I try and I care but I can’t anymore

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
