about

This song has been a staple of my set for a good three years now, and I still consider it one of the best songs i've written. Musically and lyrically the song really highlights what it's like to finally get over someone who you need to get over!

Fun Fact: I've played Keep me in a box at all 103 gigs i've played since writing it.

lyrics

This is summers first reminder of,
Everything it's done for us,
and there's lipstick on these old guitars
that shouldn't sit here for this long

I'd love to say I've missed this
but i've never missed a thing,
holding on to someone else's dream

You can build your walls so high,
you'll never see the sun again, alright?
Because I don't really want you,
and you don't really want me to

I appear again,
sporadically falling into hand
you've lived this like you used to
gave it all you used to
loved it like you used to
so sit down when you're comfortable with living a lie

Keep me in a box
try and stop me haunting all your thoughts
you can keep me where you want me,
forgetting where you caught me
losing where you lost me
eventually working your way back to the start

Skate punk is back! YAY! It's a little more than skate punk really; A cup of angst, a dash of riffing and a ton of balls. I love Gnarwolves. I'm Not Superman
