 I  suitcase.
I  am locked tight  with all these things
I  could not replace
If  I were lost,  and I
I  roll around 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  ho--ow hurt  could I be?
 And I’ll carry on
 ‘Cause I don’t know  how else to be.
 I will stay  here with you  ‘til
 You’ve had  your fill of me.
When  you’re gone,
 I know you won’t  be gone 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  ‘til
 You’ve had  your fill of me.
 When you’re gone,
 I know you won’t  be gone 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  ‘til
 You’ve had  your fill of me.
 When you’re gone,
 I know you won’t  be gone 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 for 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
 We will be  one in the same.
 One in the same.
