[Intro] [Verse] Found it under the twin bed frame Still got my old middle school name Duct tape peeling at the side Where did that little kid go hide? Dust on the lid like a thin gray sheet Heartbeat skipping a heavy beat I’m staring at the faded blue ink Standing right on the edge of the brink [Pre-Chorus] I reach for the corner then I pull back Afraid of the light through the little crack Afraid of the spirit on the yellowed page Afraid of the boy at that tender age [Chorus] I’m a ghost in my own skin Don’t know where to begin If I open the lid would he see me now? Would he even recognize the lines on my brow? I’m guarded and I’m cold He was brave and he was bold Just a box full of dreams that I can’t face Lost in a quiet, lonely space [Post-Chorus] (Lost in the space) (Can't find his face) (Yeah, yeah) [Verse] Piano keys playing soft and low Watching the hazy streetlights glow I remember the smell of that pencil lead Before all the heavy words were said Now I’m a vault with a broken code Walking a long and a dusty road He wrote about flying to the stars I’m just counting the mental scars [Pre-Chorus] I reach for the corner then I pull back Afraid of the light through the little crack Afraid of the spirit on the yellowed page Afraid of the boy at that tender age [Chorus] I’m a ghost in my own skin Don’t know where to begin If I open the lid would he see me now? Would he even recognize the lines on my brow? I’m guarded and I’m cold He was brave and he was bold Just a box full of dreams that I can’t face Lost in a quiet, lonely space [Bridge] Maybe the paper is turning to dust Maybe the hinges are covered in rust It’s a time machine I’m scared to ride With nowhere left for me to hide Rueful thoughts in the 2 AM air Wondering if he’s still in there [Verse] Maybe one day I’ll find the key And introduce that boy to me Tell him I’m sorry I got so guarded Finish the story that he started But for tonight the tape stays sealed Some wounds aren’t ready to be healed I’ll leave the box on the closet floor And keep my hand on the bedroom door [Chorus] I’m a ghost in my own skin Don’t know where to begin If I open the lid would he see me now? Would he even recognize the lines on my brow? I’m guarded and I’m cold He was brave and he was bold Just a box full of dreams that I can’t face Lost in a quiet, lonely space [Post-Chorus] (Lost in the space) (Can't find his face) (Yeah, yeah) [Outro]
