Cardboard Box from Acumen by Through Sand

You were a transient
Unexpected arrangements
For permanent displacement
Cutting corners, cords, and ties
I hid in my headphones
And you in the basement
A pair of escapists
Trying to make sense of our lives

I fell heart over heels
Honestly can you blame me
Hope had been fading
Like the lights behind our eyes
It took tears and courage
Late night conversations
But I think now we’ve made it
Out of the worst of times

Yet here and now
As I’m feeling nailed down
Helplessly hopelessly watching you leave

You’re still a transient
Unexpected arrangements
I’ll mourn your displacement
Every quiet distant night

Here and now
As I’m feeling nailed down
Helplessly hopelessly watching you leave
I just feel that you should know
How much it hurts to see you go
But I can’t make you stay if I wasn’t meant to
I can’t hold you close if I wasn’t meant to
