Swing Box Lyrics - Admiral Twin

There's a box under his bed 

that he never opens up 

but tonight he pulls it out 

cause he's come to look for 

evidence of what he fears: 

senseless tears 

wasted years 

he pulls some relics out 

studies each and every one 

he reads between the lines 

one more time before he 

breaks the spell that held him down 

those sentences that 

sentenced him 

Does nothing last? 

The setting sun becomes a sinking ship; 

chained to the helmlooks like he's going down... 

A love like that 

never should have come 

never should have gone 

As he feeds them to the fire 

one 

by 

one 

he's dimly aware 

he may have learned a thing or two 

but tuition wasn't cheap 

and he's only got these 

foggy notions of what he paid 

as he's burning records of a 

debt of love 

Now he knows sometimes even love is not enough 

a road that forks 

can cleave just like a surgeon's scalpel 

And he finds sometimes he can't even see her face 

it's been so long 

memories fade like old newspaper 

And he fears he'll never find a love like that again 

God only knows 

There must be something better
