Same Old Box
Style: Motown ballad

[Verse 1]
That old plastic box still cracks
Sitting on the cloth, red and black
You packed it before the sun was up
Filled with love in a chipped old cup

[Chorus]
Connie, you're the steady kind of true
Nobody loves like you do
Through the stony days, the bonny ones too
I keep coming home to you

[Verse 2]
Some folks want the shiny, new
I just want the box, and you
Worn at the edges, tried and tested
Nothing about us feels suggested

[Pre-chorus]
Every fold in that old red cloth
Says you never once held back or scoffed
And that kind of love don't come around twice

[Chorus]
Connie, you're the steady kind of true
Nobody loves like you do
Through the stony days, the bonny ones too
I keep coming home to you

[Bridge]
I don't need the world to shout your name
I just need you here, again, the same
Cracked box, red cloth, your hands, this life
No one else could hold it half as right

[Chorus]
Connie, you're the steady kind of true
Nobody loves like you do
Through the stony days, the bonny ones too
I keep coming home to you

[Outro]
That old box still sits and waits
Held by you, love never fades
