Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We have one chance

One chance to get everything right

We have one chance, one chance

And if we're lucky, we might

My friends, my habits, my family, they mean so much to me

I just don't think that it's right

I've seen so many ships sail in

Just to head back out again and go off sinking

[Chorus]

I'm just a box in a cage

I'm just a box in a cage

I'm just a box, just a box in a cage

I'm just a box, just a box in a cage

I'm just a box, just a box in a cage

I'm just a box in a cage

[Verse 2]

Didn't mean to laugh

Didn't know I had

Didn't know the better part of what you said

'Cause in your head, you are not home

Didn't get the joke

Didn't mean to poke another

Just to save myself from some-something, something or another one

Well, walk home

[Chorus]

I'm just a box in a cage

An open box in a cage

I'm just a box, just a box in a cage

I'm just a box in a cage

I'm just a box, just a box in a cage

Yeah, I'm just a box, just a box in a cage

I'm just a box, just a box in a cage

I'm just a box in a cage

[Outro]

We have one chance

One chance to get everything right

My friends, my habits, my family, they mean so much to me

I just don't think that it's right

I've seen so many ships sail in

Just to head back out again and go off sinking
