Boxes

in a little while i'll be home
 without a doubt, i am without you now
 every time we reach for the bread
 history unfolds
 when i'm away i know why
 i am falling awake, and i try
 come to my own defense
 i see the broken glass as i pass
 i reach for your innocence
 into little boxes of time
 we put our lives
 hoping they'll stay contained within
 in a little while i'll be free
 half-way to sleep
 half-way to dreaming again
 if it isn't too late
 i would like to feel the pain
 i am falling awake, and i try
 come to my own defense
 i see the broken glass as i pass
 i reach for your innocence
 in a little box there's a heart
 that shines, waiting
 to take away what's done (is done)
 in a little box there's a heart
 that shines, waiting
 for a new day to come
