[Verse 1]
I found a jar in the sink
With a spoon and a cracked blue lid
Three bees in the breadbox
Like they had a place to live
The lemon fell off the shelf
Rolled under the cereal box
And every little thing went wrong
In the nicest way, I guess it does
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, “Don’t touch that,” I said, “Watch me then”
Now the whole room hums
Like it woke up again
[Chorus]
Bees in the breadbox
(Bees in the breadbox)
I don’t know why
But I like that
Bees in the breadbox
(Bees in the breadbox)
Tiny little storm
In a big old crate
[Verse 2]
Your shoelace came untied
On the step by the back door
The dog stole a butter packet
And ran like he knew the score
We laughed till the screen shook
Till the whole day split in two
Nothing on the map to find
Just a weird sweet thing to do
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, “Don’t touch that,” I said, “Watch me then”
Now the whole room hums
Like it woke up again
[Chorus]
Bees in the breadbox
(Bees in the breadbox)
I don’t know why
But I like that
Bees in the breadbox
(Bees in the breadbox)
Tiny little storm
In a big old crate
[Bridge]
If the world goes sideways
We’ll call it by name
Put the messy little pieces
Back in the frame
[Final Chorus]
Bees in the breadbox
(Bees in the breadbox)
I don’t know why
But I like that
Bees in the breadbox
(Bees in the breadbox)
Tiny little storm
In a big old crate
Bees in the breadbox
(Bees in the breadbox)
Yeah, I like that
Yeah, I like that
