Where The Box Went

[Verse 1]
They said, "Here’s your box, sign on the line"
Rules in a row
Lines on the floor, doors in my mind
I just smiled
Let it all go

[Chorus]
I don’t think inside the box
I don’t think outside it either
I don’t even know where the box is
And I breathe so much easier
If there ever was a box
Must’ve left it at the station
I’m just dancing through the questions
Writing my own equations (oh yeah)

[Verse 2]
They bring charts, neat little charts
Color-coded cares
I bring coffee, crooked hearts
Laugh at the maps
Take the long stairs

[Chorus]
I don’t think inside the box
I don’t think outside it either
I don’t even know where the box is
And the sky feels nearer
If there ever was a box
It slipped out of my narration
I’m just humming past the edges
Past every expectation (mmm)

[Bridge]
Maybe the box was a story
Somebody needed to tell
Maybe I lost it on purpose
Somewhere my secrets fell
[Trio call-and-response]
"Where’s the box?"
"Baby, I forgot"
"Did it ever fit you?"
"(It did not, it did not)"

[Chorus]
I don’t think inside the box
I don’t think outside it either
I don’t even know where the box is
But my heart beats clearer
If there ever was a box
Let it fade into the distance
I’m just living in the spaces
Past every definition (oh, oh)
