* Soft Sounds From Another Planet Version
* American Sound Version

**Verse 1**

We aren’t bound by law

We aren’t bound by anything at all

Just you

If you decide to show

Just if you decide to show up on time

**Chorus**

Why walk when you can show up on time?

On time, on time

**Verse 1**

We aren't bound by law

We aren't bound by anything at all

Just you

If you decide to show

Just if you decide to show up on time

**Chorus**

Why walk when you can show up on time?

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

Oh my life, is changing every day

In every possible way

And oh my dreams, it's never quite as it seems

Never quite as it seems

I know I've felt like this before, but now I'm feeling it even more

Because it came from you

And then I open up and see, the person falling here is me

A different way to be

**Bridge**

Ah, la da ah

La da ah

La, la

**Verse 2**

I want more, impossible to ignore

Impossible to ignore

And they'll come true, impossible not to do

Impossible not to do

And now I tell you openly, you have my heart so don't hurt me

You're what I couldn't find

A totally amazing mind, so understanding and so kind

You're everything to me

**Outro**

Oh my life, is changing every day

In every possible way

And oh my dreams, it's never quite as it seems

Cause you're a dream to me

Dream to me

Oh one of these days when the work week gets low

Tell me I did good baby

You're proud of my eight bucks an hour

You don't need all of that big shit

You just want seats by the aisle

**Post-Chorus**

And you had me wrapped up around you

A paper sleeve

To your convenience store fruit pack

## Lyrics

**Intro**

I want to be your man

I want to be your s-

**Verse 1**

I want to be your man

I want to be your savage good boy

I want to take care of you

When everybody's gone

Want you to be the one that I come home to

The one that's up waiting

**Chorus**

I want to make the money 'til there's no more to be made

And we will be so wealthy, I'm absolved from questioning

That all my bad behavior was just a necessary strain

They're the stakes in the race to win

**Verse 2**

I've got a five year plan

I've got a pension and six condos

A billion-dollar bunker for two

And when the city's underwater

I will wine and dine you in the hollows

On a surplus of freeze-dried food

**Chorus**

I want to make the money 'til there's no more to be made

And as the last ones standing, we'll be tasked to repopulate

And as you rear our children, know it's the necessary strain

They're the stakes in a race to live

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

Any given day—I'm liable to fall for

Every little way a brilliance it exudes from you

I want you every morning, like an extra hour

Freeze the moment, study your head

After I'll be over it

**Chorus**

Can't you see?

I wanna be there wherever you are

Leave with me

Cause next time's too slow

On the way

I know there's time to figure it out

And make it work together

**Verse 2**

Sighing in the evening, thinking of your face

The contours of your talents, I can't stand it any longer

**Chorus**

Can't you see?

I wanna be there wherever you are

Leave with me

Cause next time's too slow

On the way

I know there's time to figure it out

And make it work together

**Bridge**

I can't take it one night longer

Tell me baby

That you feel it too

**Verse 3**

Or maybe it's best to keep it hidden

Maybe it's best to

Forget all about that special feeling

When I'm with you

**Chorus**

Can't you see?

I wanna be there wherever you are

Leave with me

Cause next time's too slow

On the way

I know there's time to figure it out

And make it work together

Boats To Boxes (Song)

"**Boats To Boxes**" is a song by Little Girl, Big Spoon, it was released as the title track from the album *Boats To Boxes* sometime around 2006.

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

This cardboard box is no longer a sailboat

That's travelling the open seas

Seeking stories untold

Of pirates and ocean beasts

Now I'm just 17

And I'm sitting in a cardboard box

**Verse 2**

And I don't remember when I lost all my makebelieve friends

They must've gotten lost on the way to school

And I'm not sad, don't mistake me for being unhappy

It's just sometimes I wish it was like it was before

**Chorus**

When I was 5 years old

When I was 5 years old

When I was 5 years old

**Verse 3**

When paper wings could take you to the moon and back

And your mind never had to stray to things that were grown-up and sad

'Cause everything's okay when you are 5 years old

And anything is possible when you're 5 years old

**Chorus**

When you're 5 years old

When you're 5 years old

**Verse 4**

But these snowmen, they have melted

And this treehouse has rotted in

And my favorite velvet mess of a dress

No matter how hard I try, will never fit again

**Outro**

And there's just no going back to cardboard ships

No there's just no going back to cardboard ships

I wish I could keep you from abusing yourself

Counting backwards, things you endured

Pitting them up against happier lives

**Chorus**

That's not the way to hurt me

That's not the way to hurt me

I'll show you the way to hurt me

**Verse 2**

In search of a soft sound from another planet

In search of a quiet place to lay this to rest

Striving for goodness while the cruel men win

There's no part of me left that can feel or hear it

**Chorus**

They'll never let you hurt me

They'll never let you hurt me

I'll never let you hurt me

I wish I could keep you from abusing yourself

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

Oh how black the pavement is

In all the neighborhoods there are left to live

Glaring lapses there have passed

The windows closed to the drafts and the vessels were snatched

**Verse 2**

Our bodies jointed and julienned in the sun

Clean shaven and pressed down to pleading pulp

Inside out now the clotheslines strum dumbly on

Strung up absences pinned up as warnings of

**Verse 3**

On a tarpaulin in the weeds

They lay me down slow and so easy

They hum your hurting days are through

Even when I'm begging still to follow

I saw you in the black light chasing every sound and feeling

Traipsing through that dark beat, oh, as if it were a heart

Baby say if what you thought you found it was the real thing

Why is it her joy you seem to find you’re after now?

**Verse 2**

Late night I watch from my window

Your pane blinks pink and blue

It’s 3 am and still at it

Whole block’s asleep 'cept me and you

**Chorus**

I saw you, I saw you

In the black light

I saw you, I saw you

Flashing pink and red

**Verse 3**

First light flits shy in the distance

Your techno jam is through

I close my eyes but my heart’s still thumping

And in my dreams your loops

**Chorus**

I saw you, I saw you

In the black light

I saw you, I saw you

Flashing pink and red

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

How can I fall asleep when my house is haunted

Walls keep sighing, pipes keep sobbing

All the lights keep dying on me, dying on me

How can I feel at ease when I keep losing things in the cracks of the floorboards

**Pre-Chorus**

When the house is gone, where does it go? I want to know

Where does it go? I want to know

How'd I get so good at losing?

How'd I get so good at losing?

**Chorus**

How? (Ooh-Oh Ooh-Oh Ooh-Ah-Ah, Ooh-Oh Ooh-Oh)

How? (Ooh-Oh Ooh-Oh Ooh-Ah-Ah, Ooh-Oh Ooh-Oh)

I just want you to come back home to me, home to me

I'm just so tired of living in a house that is cold and

Sleeping with ghosts, I should be loved by you

Oh to be loved by you

How? (Ooh-Oh Ooh-Oh Ooh-Ah-Ah, Ooh-Oh Ooh-Oh)

How? (Ooh-Oh Ooh-Oh Ooh-Ah-Ah, Ooh-Oh Ooh-Oh)

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

Once when our mother called

She had a voice of last year's cough

We passed around the phone

Sharing a word about Oregon

**Chorus**

When my turn came, I was ashamed

When my turn came, I was ashamed

**Verse 2**

Once when we moved away

She came to Romulus for a day

Her Chevrolet broke down

We prayed it'd never be fixed or be found

**Chorus**

We touched her hair, we touched her hair

We touched her hair, we touched her hair

**Verse 3**

When she had her last child

Once when she had some boyfriends, some wild

She moved away quite far

Our grandpa bought us a new VCR

**Chorus**

We watched it all night, we grew up in spite of it

We watched it all night, we grew up in spite of it

**Verse 4**

We saw her once last fall

Our grandpa died in a hospital gown

She didn't seem to care

She smoked in her room and colored her hair

**Chorus**

I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her

I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her

I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her

I was ashamed, I was ashamed of her

It was actually written in the Soft Sounds era as a bonus track for the Japanese release, but I never felt like it got its due."*

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

With my luck, you'll be dead within the year

I've come to expect it

There's nothing left to fear, at least there's that

Face to face, and at my hands

I snowed you in with hydrocodone

Layer by layer 'til you disappear

**Chorus**

Hell is finding someone to love

And I can't have you

Hell is finding someone to love

And I can't see you again

**Verse 2**

Wheeled you and laid on your side

I cried and cried and at my signal

They stopped your heart and then you died

And under the fluorescence, another sterile room

Where no one ever tells you just how clinical death looks

And I can't unsee it, the two shots it took

**Chorus**

Hell is finding someone to love

And I can't have you

Hell is finding someone to love

And I can't see you again

Hell is finding someone to love

And I can't feel you

Hell is finding someone to love

And I can't, I can't

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

Hear my name in your mouth and I'm done for

Say to sit on your face in O's and ones

It's a chase sequence on loop

It's the life that you chose and it kills me

**Chorus**

Caught up in the idea of someone

Caught up in the idea of you

That's done too soon

**Verse 2**

It's your name in my mouth I'm repeating

It's the taste of your tongue I can't spit out

I keep watching the way he looks through you

I keep watching your ways, I miss it all

**Chorus**

Caught up in the idea of someone

Caught up in the idea of you

That's gone too soon

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

Do I have it, what you want?

Start to look, get off easy

There were others, took their time

Couldn't happen, go down, bring up the AC

**Verse 2**

Let us take a look inside

Fan the flame, all alone with this drink and

Afterimage, fantasize

Cool your head, go down, breathe easy, you're under me

**Pre-Chorus**

Go down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down

Go down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down

Go down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down

Go down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down

**Verse 3**

Do I have it, what you want?

Start to look back, get off easy

There were others, took their time

Couldn't happen, go down, bring up the AC

**Pre-Chorus**

Go down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down

Go down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down

Go down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down

Go down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

Can you feel me smile into your palm

With the hand that's covering up my mouth?

And I hope I'm not as stupid as I sound

Would you cut me out if I put out?

**Verse 2**

Every time I see you look my way

You look so good, like you're mocking me

They ask are you still playing basement shows with the band?

Doing the music thing? Well yes I fucking am

**Chorus**

And something feels good in my sunhouse, your moon

In the cold, hard light of dawn with attitude

**Verse 3**

Neurological tendency won't get the best of me

I am more than a bundle of pain receptors

So come on let's take a trip

Down to the south, we'll sleep in shifts

I'll do all of I-95, you do 66

**Chorus**

And something feels good in my sunhouse, your moon

Something feels good in my sunhouse, your moon

Something feels good in my sunhouse, your moon

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

Woke from a dream in which you'd left me

Posing for cars on the American stoop

Don't make me beg you just 'cause you can

I'm just a woman with loneliness

I'm just a woman with needs

**Chorus**

And how could you ever conceive

How much I need you, how truly barren I can be?

They say that time, it is the only certainty

But it's been one o'clock for hours

Oh, the day is long, untangling

**Verse 2**

Can't sort release from what I sold you

Is this what it takes to enjoy the day?

All of my pleasures left on display

I'm just a hollow root pushing through

I'm just the empty space inside the room

**Chorus**

And how could you ever conceive

This adolescent heart skipping beats?

When all your love, it grows full and firm beneath

Without a festered thought, without an emerald want

Just a single slow desire fermenting

**Verse 1**

Something happens every day

Whether not you're part

No matter if you wait

But if you're bold and trying to find

Whatever waits, whichever end

You play a part

**Verse 2**

And if in time you found that you've doubled back

Learn to rely on a future you made

In which it gets better

## Lyrics

* Final Version
* "Holes And Shape" Demo Version

**Verse 1**

New England fall in the family classic car

We went on a holiday drive

Parked at the beach picking shells and stones to bring

Things to line on your selves

**Chorus**

And what we saw isn’t far behind me

But water flows fresh to brackish then to salt into seas

**Verse 2**

New York parades, first Cold Spring, then Macy's Day

Giving road head on the turnpike

And I called it off when I saw what I’d become

I was holes and shape

**Chorus**

And what we saw isn’t far behind me

But water flows fresh to brackish then to salt into seas

**Verse 3**

Well I watched them fold her up in deli paper

I called you out

On the threshold of a human heart

You watched me fall apart

**Outro**

I know better, and you know

But all I see still is your mouth

Packed with hooks to cut and rip me out

Just one more time

I know better and you know

But all I see still is your mouth, your mouth, your mouth

**Verse 1**

New England fall in the family classic car

We went on a holiday drive

Parked at the beach picking shells and stones to bring

Things to line on your selves

**Chorus**

And what we saw isn’t far behind me

But water flows fresh to brackish then to salt into seas

**Verse 2**

New England fall in the family classic car

We went on a holiday drive

And I called it off when I saw what I’d become

I was holes and shape

**Chorus**

And what we saw isn’t far behind me

But water flows fresh to brackish then to salt into seas

**Outro**

I know better, and you know

But all I see still is your mouth

Packed with hooks to cut and rip me out

Just one more time

I know better and you know

But all I see still is your mouth, your mouth, your mouth

## Lyrics

**Verse 1**

We loved this house once, we made it a home

And I wept — afraid my waking life was an ocean

And I am not on your tide, I am not on your tide

I used to have it memorized — the sound of you entering a room

**Verse 2**

Bucks County prom king loves talk radio

And an impressionist marriage all laid out on his impressionist's table

I can't sleep, I'm not tired

I can't sleep, I've realized

At some point you decide if you want to love or be loved more

And I chose wrong, oh
