Belongings

I will keep my belongings
With me at all times
I know what i need
I know what is mine

I will keep my belongings
With me at all times
Until i can't carry
No more

I will put all my papers
And records in piles
I will store all my secrets
In boxes and files

I will keep my belongings
With me at all times
Until i can't carry
No more

Sometimes when i wonder about you leaving
The shape of the hole when you are gone
You give me something that i can belive in
You give me somewhere that i can belong

We move our belongings, we surround ourselves
With duplicate copies of books on our shelves
And too many mirrors combining our lives
Until we can't tell them apart

And sometimes i crowd you and step on your toes
Sometimes i will go out in yesterday's clothes
But i show you a sight that no one else knows
And hope that you'll carry me on

Sometimes when i wonder about you leaving
The shape of the hole when you're gone
You give me something that i can believe in
You give me somewhere that i can belong
