The Early November – Boxing Timelines lyrics

[Verse 1]
Crawling through the basement
Seeing in the past all the life we erased in bins
Color-coded for placement
Could be trash at what times replaced with
I know in time we all walk
Sifting through your clothes, paintings hung on the wall
Take me back to the places
Where time doesn't exist to break us
It breaks us down

[Chorus]
With the forgotten smiles, the obnoxious laughs
The broken hearts, down frame with my first kiss
The sweater I was wearing while laying down
Holding you for the first time
Reminds me of the smell of your gorgeous hair
Every note that we wrote in a box
With every ticket from every movie that I ever saw
Every picture I come across I'm amazed with
Every moment I live, a moment replaces another one

[Verse 2]
Unpacking boxes like Christmas
Obsessed on finding out who I really was
Turning all of the joys to timelines
Reliving every second of my life
I know it's hard to hold on
All my thoughts are really sad
How I wish we would just stay young
I guess that's why we let go
But I'm not ready to let go

[Chorus]
Oh, the forgotten smiles, the obnoxious laughs
The broken hearts, down frame with my first kiss
The sweater I was wearing while laying down
Holding you for the first time
Reminds me of the smell of your gorgeous hair
Every note that we wrote in a box
With every ticket from every movie that I ever saw
Every picture I come across I'm amazed with
Every moment I live, a moment replaces another one

[Bridge]
I won't be ready to let go
But how do you hold on?
I won't be ready to let go
So how do you hold on?

[Outro]
Crawling through the basement
Seeing in the past all the life we erased in bins
Color-coded for placement
Could be trash at what times replaced with
I know in time we all walk
Sifting through your clothes, paintings hung on the wall
Take me back to the places
Where time doesn't exist to break us
