Boxes

Staring at the future with nervous laughter
Too scared to love, too scared to leave
Holding hands too tightly, standing on the edge of the cavern
Between what we want and what we need

Making choices, ticking boxes
Where are we going, what are we doing here?
We say we're happy but these are not our voices
And all I can feel is fear

Blowing bubbles on my eighteenth birthday
Acting seven cause we’re scared to act our age
We know that doing this is gonna get us into trouble
Don't wanna know the ending so we're not gonna turn the page

Making choices, ticking boxes
Where are we going, what are we doing here?
We say we’re happy but these are not our voices
And all I can feel is fear

So hold me tight in the night, tell me everything will be all right
Hold me tight and lie
Oh hold me tight in the night, tell me everything will be all right
Hold me tight and lie

Making choices, ticking boxes
Where are we going, what are we doing here?
We say we're happy but these are not our voices
And all I can feel is fear

I say I'm not scared of the future
But that's because I refuse to think
Run away with me, we can run forever
Always standing on the brink

Making choices, ticking boxes
Where are we going, what are we doing here?
I say I'm happy but this is not my voice, no
And all I can feel
All I can feel
All I can feel
Is fear
