[Verse 1]
How do I know when to let things go?
What do I take or leave in this place?
How do I fit my childhood dreams?
My biggest plans in my Honda CR-V
[Chorus]
Ooh, I'm packin' up boxes
I knew this day was comin'
But it takes me by surprise
Ooh, will it all be forgotten
When I pull out of this driveway
Leave this whole world behind?
How do I fit all of these memories
In these boxes?
[Verse 2]
How do I take the kitchen walls, the upstairs hall
The creek in the second stair?
How do I pack the windows and the sky
The comfort that I felt on my pillow every night?
[Chorus]
Ooh, I'm packin' up boxes
I knew this day was comin'
But it takes me by surprise
Ooh, will it all be forgotten
When I pull out of this driveway
Leave my whole world behind?
How do I fit all of these memories
In these boxes?
[Bridge]
Will anyone miss the big oak tree
In the backyard with the tire rope swin'?
Will anyone miss the front porch light
The lilac bushes on a summer's night?
Will anyone notice the bright red roses
Dug up and packed up in cardboard boxes
And somehow fit in my studio apartment?
[Outro]
How do I fit all of these memories?
Tell me, how do I fit all of these memories
In these boxes?
