Track Insight / Lyrics
Boxes stack beside the door
Coffee cooling on the floor
Someone laughs beyond the wall
Fresh bread smells down the hall
She tapes the windows with a crooked line
Hangs a spare key where the coat should be
The stove is boxed, but coffee still tastes right
And toast pops up like a small sunrise
A lightbulb rattles in a cardboard box
Fresh popcorn rattles in a paper sack

The radiator ticks a countdown through the night
A neighbor dog complains beyond the wall
Steam curls the window into pearly white
Her kettle answers with a piping call
Open every carton, let the daylight through

A folded apron makes a soft white flag
The silverware slips softly as she breathes
A cardboard chair squeaks beneath all that weight

Her roommate's shadow crosses on the wall
The boxes thin until they fit the hall
Open every carton, let the daylight through
She finds a future in the tape and glue
The rooms are changing while the walls stay blue
There's room to breathe and more life in view
The diner coffee leaves a muddy ring
A paper napkin wraps a borrowed thing
She signs the lease beside the open door
And keeps the old key in a chipped blue bowl
Open every carton, let the daylight through
She finds a future in the tape and
