Houdini’s Box lyrics

[Verse 1]
The box sits on the bridge
The crowd is waiting
The chains are locked across my chest
There's no heart breaking

[Verse 2]
I've done this show a thousand times
This trick's so easy
As they lower me into your waters
There's no escaping

[Pre-Chorus]
There's a secret passage out of here
But I don't wanna reappear
I just wanna stay with you in here

[Chorus]
In Houdini's box
Close the lid
And tie the knot
Houdini's box

[Verse 3]
The clock ticks by the bed
I hear you breathing
I should be out the door
But I'm not leaving
[Pre-Chorus]
Still the scars from my last escape
I nearly drowned beneath the lake
Stayed down too long dreaming about you

[Chorus]
In Houdini's box
Close the lid
And tie the knot
Houdini's box
In Houdini's box
Houdini's box

[Pre-Chorus]
I'd take such good care of you
I'd brush your hair, untie your shoes
There's nothing in the world I wouldn't do

[Chorus]
In Houdini's box
In Houdini's box
Seal the lid
And tie the knot
In Houdini's box
Houdini's box
Houdini's box
Houdini's box
Houdini's box
[Outro]
The box sits on the bridge
The crowd's still waiting
