[Verse 1]
This time, I got nothing to say about it,
I'm about as still as water could be,
I won't fuck with anyone's arrangement,
Let's open up these boxes and see.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Last time, the kettle was boiling over,
We made a mess of it,
I made a mess,
Sometimes, it's cloudy, and you drive yourself away,
And away is always something less.

[Chorus]
All I'm saying,
Nothing less than trying will do,
All I know,
Is that time will tell, time's a box,
Time might show that there's love in these boxes.

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
I tried so often to summon my better angel,
But they're over the horizon once again,
I already tried to lock them all away,
Up high where the blood runs thin.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I stepped across the dreaded green light,
And the self-inflicted wounds are slow to heal,
I couldn't climb the forest, couldn't see the tree,
I had to find my way by touch-and-feel.

[Chorus]
All I'm saying,
Nothing less than trying will do,
All I know,
Is that time will tell, time's a box,
Time might show that there's love.

[Chorus]
All I'm saying,
Nothing less than trying will do,
All I know,
Is that time will tell, time's a box,
Time might show that there's love in these boxes.

[Outro]
Love in these boxes,
Love in these boxes.
