Boxes in the Hallway
by Vanta Lux
“New city, boxes in the hallway, nowhere to stand. It's the most hopeful thing on the record, and I kept the bass bouncy for that reason.”

Lyrics
New city, new key in my hand Boxes in the hallway, nowhere to stand Streetlights hum a language I don't know Put the kettle on, take it slow Start again, start again One small light in a stranger's town Start again, start again I'll find my feet when the sun comes down Corner shop knows nothing of me Bus map folded on my knee Window open, the night air sings Maybe this is where it begins Start again, start again One small light in a stranger's town Start again, start again I'll find my feet when the sun comes down Unpack one box tonight Leave the rest till morning light Start again, start again One small light in a stranger's town Start again, start again I'll find my feet when the sun comes down Start again Start again
