I am a suitcase,
I am locked up with all this things I could not replace
If I were lost tonight.
I roll 'round airports,
I talk with seats until it's time to leave the concourse;
You, hanging on to me.

Remember when I
Fell down the stairs when you were rushing down that long flight
Of concrete squares?
You brushed my dirt off,
And checked to see if you had hurt me more than you thought.
But how hurt cold I be?

And I'll carry on
'Cause I don't know how else to be.
I will stay here with you,
Until you've had your fill of me.
When you're gone,
I know it won't be for too long.
I am yours and you are mine,
Because you know that I am strong.

I keep your secrets.
The one who knows about your life and all you regret
When you're alone.
Your kids don't like me.
They see me on your bed and they try to hide me.
They think you love me best.

But I'll carry on
'Cause I don't know how else to be.
I will stay here with you, until you've had your fill of me.
When you're gone,
I know it won't be for too long.
I am yours and you are mine,
Because you know that I am strong.

I'll carry on
'Cause I don't know how else to be.
I will stay here with you, until you've had your fill of me.
When you're gone,
I know it won't be for too long.
I am yours and you are mine,
Because you know...
That I'll carry on
'Cause I don't know what else to do.
I will be here with you now, because I know I'm home for you.
The day will come,
And you'll decide you need a change.
But until, I'm on the shelf and we'll be one in the same.
One in the same
