Shoebox by The Reytons Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You lost out, tied down
Red letters, they fall and hit the ground
But I won't let them in the way
I strike out, sit down
Spark another up and take a bow
’Cause they're not getting in today
[Chorus]
'Cause what I would do for you
Is more than you’ll ever know
Is more than you'll ever need to know
[Verse 2]
Dark streets, cold hands
Winter falls but I can't meet demands
I'm living on the other side
Hard life, hard lives
A shoebox filled with cash and no surprise
That I'ma be home late tonight
[Chorus]
'Cause what I would do for you
Is more than you'll ever know
Is more than you'll evеr need to know
What I would do for you
Is more than I’ll ever show
It’s morе than I'll ever care to show
[Bridge]
If it all falls down
Will you be around to pick the pieces up I left behind?
It it all falls down
Will you still be there waiting for me on the other side?
[Chorus]
’Cause what I would do for you
Is more than you'll ever know
Is more than you'll ever need to know
What I would do for you
Is more than I'll ever show
It’s more than I'll ever care to show
[Outro]
What I would do for you
Is more than you'll ever know
You lost out, tied down
Red letters, they fall and hit the ground
But I won't let them in the way
I strike out, sit down
Spark another up and take a bow
’Cause they're not getting in today
[Chorus]
'Cause what I would do for you
Is more than you’ll ever know
Is more than you'll ever need to know
[Verse 2]
Dark streets, cold hands
Winter falls but I can't meet demands
I'm living on the other side
Hard life, hard lives
A shoebox filled with cash and no surprise
That I'ma be home late tonight
[Chorus]
'Cause what I would do for you
Is more than you'll ever know
Is more than you'll evеr need to know
What I would do for you
Is more than I’ll ever show
It’s morе than I'll ever care to show
[Bridge]
If it all falls down
Will you be around to pick the pieces up I left behind?
It it all falls down
Will you still be there waiting for me on the other side?
[Chorus]
’Cause what I would do for you
Is more than you'll ever know
Is more than you'll ever need to know
What I would do for you
Is more than I'll ever show
It’s more than I'll ever care to show
[Outro]
What I would do for you
Is more than you'll ever know
