I’d like to read your secret book,
find all the ALPHABETS HIDDEN inside,
learn every twist your story took,
I’d like to know the reasons why,

if you prefer your secrets kept,
I’ll take the mystery instead,
if I could read your secret book,
it’d keep me up all night..

funny the way THE PACKING BOX
becomes an attic junk crate, stashed away,
the stuff you saved before the move,
but never got back out after you came

to your new house now somewhere else,
with other knick-knacks on your shelf,
is there a dusty attic box
that keeps your secrets safe?

if you prefer your secrets kept,
I’ll take the mystery instead,
if I could read your secret book,
it’d keep me up all night..
it’d keep me up all night...
