about

This is track 13 on my album written and recorded during the month of February 2021 as part of the annual February Album Writing Month challenge, asking participants to write 14 songs in 28 days. Rules can be found at fawm.org/help/.

The album A Million Boxes is inspired by personal life events and plays in chronological order. All of these tracks were recorded in one take using my phone and the DolbyOn app. Most songs were written in under an hour.

lyrics

If I could check a million boxes
Then I would win a million prizes
And I could see myself in pictures
If I could let it go

But I’m not ready
For the curtain to come down

If I could save a little for you
Then I would promise adore you
The day breaks and everything is new now
But I won’t let it go

And I’m not ready
For the curtain to come down

And oh, the fever breaks
And oh, the thunderstorm awakes
But I can’t let it go
I’m far from home and I have nothing left

If I could put a voice to sorrow
I’d scream and shout until tomorrow
Oh my, dreams that never happened
But I’m still checking all boxes

And I’m not ready
For the curtain to come down

Waiting for that curtain to come down
