I keep my belongings with me at all times
I know what I need, I know what is mine
I keep my belongings with me at all times
Until I can carry no more

I put all my papers and records in piles
I store all my secrets in boxes and files
I keep my belongings with me at all times
Until I can carry no more

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

We move our belongings, we surround ourselves
With duplicate copies of books on our shelves
And too many [bad word] 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
