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
