Adrian Borland - Box Of Happy Memories lyrics

You get a moment in frozen frame On every page you turn You keep what most would throw away You even kiss what some would burn Then it's all locked safe inside Your box of happy memories There's a wreck walking round your town Using the same name as me He's a bombed out shell because well There's nothing where his sanity used to be Now his heart and mind's been consigned To your box of happy memories And there's not much room to breathe And you know that fine detail But you shut the lid down tight anyway And you hope nobody's there But can't you hear my suffocating cry From your box of happy memories Now the summer has opened up the streets And there's a chance in every bar A clear night sky almost seems to speak Get yourself a new start But I can't get free while I'm Still in your box of happy memories There are worse places to be At least I get to you sometime somehow There's a sad face that you don't have to see And words you don't have to hear out loud Well you know exactly what you find In your box of happy memories And there's not much room to breathe And you know that fine detail But you shut the lid down tight anyway And you hope nobody's there But can't you hear my suffocating cry From your box of happy memories You get a moment in frozen frame On every page you turn You keep what most would throw away You even kiss what some would burn Then it's all locked safe inside Your box of happy memories
