Black Box

[Verse 1]
One night and I let it go to waste
I can’t complain enough to them
The girl of all my dreams dreamt next to me but we’re parting now as friends
The afternoon dumps all the wasted words back in my memory
Everything I need stays false as dreams somewhere inside of me

[Chorus]
My heart screams on a need to know basis
A black box of a documented crush
I crash land in a million different places
But you’ll find me on a desert island hiding castles
For my dream beneath the underbrush

[Verse 2]
Daylight and the feelings strike me hard
As she heads there out of the scene
Every smile analyzed, every word
What can she mean?
I lay down to the echoed sounds of laughter
In the chamber of my brain
I lock up all her words and I send them off in my pining-powered plane

[Chorus]
My heart screams on a need to know basis
A black box of a documented crush. I crash land in a million different places, but you’ll find me on a desert island hiding castles for my dream beneath the underbrush

[Verse 3]
And they’re passing me by
The rescue planes soaring remain her name in the sky
The ocean washes softly to the sand beneath my feet
And I start to wonder: “Has she gone under to an island of her own across the sea?”
