lyrics
(a second box) There was another one in the loft above the water tank Same route, same ferries, same three bus connections Drawn out in pencil in a hand that slopes to the left And it is mine, from when I was nine, and I do not remember it A second shoebox (a second box) In a child's writing, a second box Mine, a second box A second box A second box, second box, a second box, second box He gave me the route before I was old enough to keep it A second box, second box, a second box, second box And I forgot it entirely and did it anyway at thirty-four That is what I cannot get past. I thought I chose this. I thought the travelling was mine, a departure, a correction. It was handed to me at nine at a kitchen table and I forgot. (BAND RETURNS) A second box, second box, a second box, second box He gave me the route before I was old enough to keep it A second box, second box, a second box, second box And I forgot it entirely and did it anyway at thirty-four (at nine...)
