Barenaked Ladies - Shoebox lyrics

[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
