Cannonball Statman Lyrics
"Eyes On The Box"

Let's be lonely together, before you go back in the box.
Life was always your imaginary friend
And I was always the one you loved.
And why you're going back, I don't know
But I hope it's nothing to do with me.
I hope I haven't hurt you by being who I wanted to be.

As I stand back, and watch you enter the point of no return,
I whisper softly that no matter what happens,
I'll keep all eyes on the box.

I remember the time you lost your vision, and got it back the next day.
I wonder what you're seeing now, or is it impossible to say?
We had a good long time outside of that thing
But I guess you like being a square.
I guess we're all really something like that
But it's nice to get some fresh air.

As I wonder all these things, I will forget to say goodbye.
I'll only whisper that no matter what happens,
I'll keep all eyes on the box.

I remember the days you first stopped wondering about heaven and hell.
Maybe one of them will suck you in, or maybe not. But who cares, for now?
I remember the time you started wondering about how long it takes
to be respected in a world
Where no one can even accept their own mistakes.

And why you're going back, I don't know
But I hope it's nothing to do with me.
I only know that no matter what happens,
I'll keep all eyes on the box.
