Moving Boxes
With Confidence Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These days I've been nothing but a burden
At night while you're tossing and you're turning
Get high on the dust that I am breathing
Oh, oh, oh, one week to go (go)

Wake up to the absence of your body
Doors shut but you know that you can't stop me
A box, all our memories are burning
Oh, oh, oh, one week to go

I hope you're ready 'cause you're gonna sleep alone tonight
We're temporary and you're moving further out of sight
Hold it steady 'cause we're gonna set it all alight
I'm moving boxes in, we are now separate

I hope you're ready 'cause you're gonna sleep alone tonight
We're temporary and you're moving further out of sight
Hold it steady 'cause we're gonna set it all alight
I'm moving boxes in, we are now separate

Catch up from the things we haven't heard yet
Go back to the place where we had first met
Sprawled out like reflections on the ceiling
Oh, oh, oh, one week to go

I hope you're ready 'cause you're gonna sleep alone tonight
We're temporary and you're moving further out of sight
Hold it steady 'cause we're gonna set it all alight
I'm moving boxes in, we are now separate

I hope you're ready 'cause you're gonna sleep alone tonight
We're temporary and you're moving further out of sight
Hold it steady 'cause we're gonna set it all alight
I'm moving boxes in, we are now separate

These days I've been nothing but a burden
At night while you're tossing and you're turning
Get high on the dust that I am breathing
Oh, oh, oh, one week to go

I hope you're ready 'cause you're gonna sleep alone tonight
We're temporary and you're moving further out of sight
Hold it steady 'cause we're gonna set it all alight
I'm moving boxes in, we are now separate

I hope you're ready 'cause you're gonna sleep alone tonight
We're temporary and you're moving further out of sight
Hold it steady 'cause we're gonna set it all alight




I'm moving boxes and everything that you left
I'm moving boxes in, we are now separate

These days I've been nothing but a burden
I've been feeling like I'm not contributing anything to this relationship lately.


At night while you're tossing and you're turning
You're having restless nights and I feel guilty for being the cause of it.


Get high on the dust that I am breathing
I'm slowly choking on the remnants of our past and it's painful.


Oh, oh, oh, one week to go (go)
Our time is almost up and we'll be parting ways soon.


Wake up to the absence of your body
Now that you're gone, I'm constantly reminded of what I've lost every time I wake up alone.


Doors shut but you know that you can't stop me
Even though you've left, I'm still here packing up and trying to move on with my life.


A box, all our memories are burning
I'm getting rid of everything that reminds me of you because I know it's time to let go.


I hope you're ready 'cause you're gonna sleep alone tonight
I want you to realize the impact of what we're going through and how it's going to be different from now on.


We're temporary and you're moving further out of sight
Our relationship was fleeting and you're becoming more and more distant as time goes on.


Hold it steady 'cause we're gonna set it all alight
We need to end this the right way and leave everything in the past so we can move on.


I'm moving boxes in, we are now separate
I'm packing up my life to move on without you and accept that we're no longer together.


Catch up from the things we haven't heard yet
There are things that we still need to talk about and hear from each other before we can fully let go.


Go back to the place where we had first met
We need to remind ourselves of how our relationship started and what brought us together in the first place.


Sprawled out like reflections on the ceiling
Lying down and looking up at the ceiling, I can see how our paths have diverged and how we're no longer moving in the same direction.


I'm moving boxes and everything that you left
I'm getting rid of all the things that remind me of you and what we used to have.
