lyrics

V
Independence is a euphemism for loneliness.
Stoicism is another word for resignation.

Freedom isn't that exciting when it's all that you know.
Shopping around gets tiring when you never take a thing home.

C
Keep your expectations nice and low.
Keep the lid that contains them tightly closed.
Once that jack pops out of the box
It's hard to put him back.

V
Wait and hope are expressed by the same word in Spanish.
That's not so, or at least not my experience in English.

C
Sometimes you don't know how tired you are
'Til you first sit down to take a rest.
Sometimes you don't know how hungry you are
'Til you take that first bite.

(Bridge)

C
So keep your expectations nice and low.
Keep the lid that contains them tightly closed.
Once that jack pops out of the box
It's hard to put him back.
