Cardboard Box

She gave me a message the other day and told me hey
 She's now off the mainland, hired a car to check the beaches out
 And about sunburnt but otherwise, doin' fine
 She asked me if I'm looking forward to her returning soon
 Sure I was
 Hold up... I took a breath and kept it short 'n sweet yeah
 It's gonna be a good two weeks till she gets back
 In the meantime you know where I'll be, gathering dust
 Just like her cardboard box under my bed
 It's not too hard sure, I know whats in her head
 She's not stickin' around
 She's gonna check out the next town
 She's not stickin' around
 She's gonna leave and let me down
 She uploaded photos the other night, what a sight
 Made me really miss her, but damned if I was gonna tell her
 Writing back to her, on second thought she just bought
 Another ticket to the north, forgot the name
 Somewhere on the east coast
 Hold up... I took a breath and kept it short 'n sweet yeah
 It's gonna be a good two weeks till she gets back
 In the meantime you know where I'll be, gathering dust
 Just like her cardboard box under my bed
 It's not too hard sure, I know whats in her head
 She's not stickin' around
 She's gonna check out the next town
 She's not stickin' around
 She's gonna leave and let me down
 Yes I know, she's really gotta go
 And who am I to ask her to stay
 When I know... there really is no way
 I guess theres nothing left to say
 But savour this sweet moment
 And smile away
 Just like her cardboard box under my bed
 It's not too hard sure, I know whats in her head
 She's not stickin' around
 She's gonna check out the next town
 She's not stickin' around
 She's gonna leave and let me down
