lyrics

You are like a cardboard box--I'll bet you wonder how. Because I’m ambivalent about keeping you around. You collapse at the first sign of legitimate pressure, and you fold, but you’re not easy to stow away, or just throw away. My current love affair asks me to get rid of you. She says you can find one of those in the alley behind any appliance store (I guess in that way you are less like a cardboard box). But what if I want to keep it to put things on—like misgivings and shortcomings? I’m sure I could find a use for it somehow. I could put a scarf over it like my stepfather did, just cover it up. Use it as an end table; furniture in the room. I guess I could store you in the attic, gathering dust and brown recluse spiders. Because you know you always want to keep the original package, in case you ever want to make a return. ;)
