	A ballad of love, loss, and unassembled furniture.
	Lyrics Big Flat Boxes Copyright Jeffrey Pease 2003 Shopping at Ikea Chinese couples, young and pregnant Faith, hope and furniture On the day that we went (kitchen implements) Beds and tables Load them on the cart All the feathers of the nesting heart Flashers on, we won’t be driving far All our dreams are roped onto the car, in Big flat boxes, don’t throw them away Till you’ve put together what’s inside Big flat boxes, nothing comes ready made Cause every dream I've ever known takes Some assembly in the home We unpacked our treasures Tried to make the pieces fit An extra screw, a little glue We made the best of it Clean the windows Paper on the wall I’m not sure we’ll be ready by the Fall Wipers on, it looks a lot like rain We’ll get there right at closing time again Three months, a miracle from sin Nine months, the walls are closing in Twelve months, love isn’t what we thought And I don’t know how we can teach what we were never taught Big flat boxes, don’t throw them away Till you know you’re keeping what’s inside Big flat boxes, nothing comes ready made Cause every dream I've ever known take some assembly in the home
