Boxes Lyrics by Peggy Sue

Acrobats

2011

[Verse 1]
He kept me company
Whilst I took apart those rooms
Put them back together
All in one long afternoon

If I thought it should've been him there
Instead of you
I didn't say
I didn't say

[Chorus 1]
Cause all that there was
All that there was
All that there was
Is what will be
All that we have
All that we have
All that we have
We have to keep

[Verse 2]
They kept us company
Whilst we rearranged that house
I put things in boxes and almost took them back out
If we thought the oldest should've really been around
We didn't say
We didn't say

[Chorus 2]
Cause all that there was
All that there was
All that there was
Is what there is
All that we have
All that we have
All that we have
We're taking it with him

[Verse 3]
You tell me now about some memory you kept
Our souls stood together in the kitchen
The night before we left
And I thought I put you there
So that you'll always be helping me to
Leave
Helping me to
Leave
