[Verse 1]
A key in the door, a step on the floor
A note on the table, and a meal in the micro
Note says "I'm in bed, please make sure that you're fed
If you're taking a shower, you can borrow my bathrobe
When I'm asleep I dream you move in next week"
I crumple the note and save it to put inside
[Chorus]
My shoe box
Shoe box of lies
Shoe box
Shoe box of lies
[Verse 2]
It's under my bed, it's never been read
It's in with my school stuff and my mom never cleans there
From my first little fib, when I still wore a bib
To my latest attempt at pretending I'm someone
Who's not seventeen, doesn't know what you mean
When talk turns to single malts, or stilton, or
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Did somebody tell you
This is how it's supposed to be?
Or did you just find it
And you don't want any more from me?
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
Was it something I said, or was it something you read
That's making me think that I should never have come here
I can offer you lies, I can tell you good-bye
I can tell you I'm sorry, But I can't tell you the truth, dear
And what if I could - would it do any good?
You'll still never get to see the contents of
[Chorus]
[Verse 5]
You're so nineteen-ninety
And it's nineteen-ninety-four
Leave this world behind me
Cause you don't want me anymore
