Cardboard Boxes Lyrics by GRANATA

The Goons Are Gorgeous

2020

[Verse 1]
I don't need a friend I need a freak
Looking for the things that I shouldn't seek
All she do is light cigs
Maybe cause her life is kinda bleak

Who am I thinking I can help her?
I can barely help myself to
Anything but another gin and seltzer
Gimme shelter

I'm done being codependent
Might be time that we end it
And the way we were headed
I don't think this gonna end in friendship

Yeah we had some good times
But we had some worse ones
And when we met over that cigarette
We were two different persons

[Hook]
Step in an office
Nervous and nauseous
She tells me put my shit in cardboard boxes
Leave them forever, leave them to be
Used by someone who needs shit for free

If I left every time
I never would have learned how to climb
Out of that mud, out of that grit
And made something beautiful out of that shit

[Verse 2]
I found someone new to hold my hand
Massage my heart, lick my skin, laugh at my jokes
Take a shower with and scrub me with soap

She love me for who I am
Even when I'm full of phlegm
She eats shrimp, chicken, goat, pig, and lamb
But she tastes like strawberry jam

How did we get this far in?
She in the mix, I'm in the margin
She like fashion camp goddess
I like dirty dark dive bar jargon

Somehow it works, she's calm I'm beserk
She loves me for every one of my quirks
I only know how to be sweet cause I was a jerk
I was a jerk
I was a jerk
I was a jerk

[Hook]
Step in an office
Nervous and nauseous
She tells me put my shit in cardboard boxes
Leave them forever, leave them to be
Used by someone who needs shit for free

If I left every time
I never would have learned how to climb
Out of that mud, out of that grit
And made something beautiful out of that shit

[Outro]
My subconscious been acting obnoxious
And I just don't know what to do

My subconscious been acting obnoxious
And I just don't know what to do

[Trumpet solo: Theodore van Dyck]
