Yellow Boxes

[Verse 1]
Spent your whole life chasing dreams
Went from sidelines to major leagues
And now they say: "You finally made it
You must be happy"

But on dark nights, when you're counting sheep
And the good times are fast asleep
You think "I'm ok, just maintain it
I should be happy"

[Pre-Chorus]
But when five years pass
The same things don't make you laugh
And now ten years go by alone

[Chorus]
So maybe it's time to go home
Pack it up and leave ‘em a note
Saying "I don't wanna do this alone", so go
Pack those yellow boxes
And make your way home
When everything is out of control
And you feel like you have traded your soul; for gold
Pack those yellow boxes; and make your way home

[Post-Chorus]
Pack ‘em up, pack ‘em up
Yellow boxes
Pack ‘em up, pack ‘em up
Yellow boxes
Pack ‘em up, pack ‘em up
You can always
Pack those yellow boxes

[Verse 2]
So you can spend your whole life
How it's supposed to be
And love right, unconditionally
And you can say
"I found a way, 'cause I got my family"

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Don't let five years pass
And waste time you'll never get back
Don't let ten years go by alone

[Chorus]
So maybe it's time to go home
Pack it up and leave ‘em a note
Saying "I don't wanna do this alone" so go
Pack those yellow boxes
And make your way home
When everything is out of control
And you feel like you have traded your soul for gold
Pack those yellow boxes; and make your way home

[Interlude]
Ohh-ohh-ooh, ahh-ahh-ahh
Ohh-ohh-ooh, ahh-ahh-ahh ...

[Bridge]
You can always
Pack ‘em up, pack ‘em up
Pack the yellow boxes
Pack ‘em up, pack ‘em up
Pack ‘em up, pack ‘em up
Pack the yellow boxes
Pack those yellow boxes

[Verse 3]
Home
Pack it up and leave ‘em a note
Sayin' "I don't wanna be here alone"
So can you pack those yellow boxes
And get yourself ...

[Chorus]
Home (home)
When everything is out of control (control)
And you feel like you have traded your soul for gold
Pack those yellow boxes; and make your way home

[Outro]
Pack ‘em up, pack ‘em up
Pack ‘em up, pack ‘em up
Make your way home (pack ‘em up, pack ‘em up)
You can always (pack ‘em up)
Pack those yellow boxes
Make your way home (pack ‘em up, pack ‘em up) ...
