"Yellow Boxes"

Spend your whole life chasing dreams
Went from sidelines to major leagues
And now they say
"You finally made it you must be happy"
But on dark nights
When you're counting sheep
And the good times are fast asleep
You think "I'm ok, just maintain it I should be happy"

But when five years pass
The same things don't make you laugh
And now ten years go by alone

So maybe it's time to go home
Pack it up and leave ‘em a note
Saying "I don't wanna do this alone"
So go pack those yellow boxes
And make your way home
When everything is out of control
And you feel like you have traded your soul
For gold pack those yellow boxes
And make your way home

Pack ‘em up pack ‘em up
Yellow boxes
Pack ‘em up pack ‘em up
Yellow boxes
Pack ‘em up pack ‘em up
You can always
Pack those yellow boxes

So you can spend your whole life
How it's supposed to be
And love right unconditionally
And you can say
I found a way ‘cause I got my family

Don't let five years pass
Time you'll never get back
Don't let ten years go by alone

So maybe it's time to go home
Pack it up and leave ‘em a note
Saying "I don't wanna do this alone"
So go pack those yellow boxes
And make your way home
When everything is out of control
And you feel like you have traded your soul
For gold pack those yellow boxes
And make your way home
Ohh ahh
You can always
Pack ‘em up pack ‘em up
Yellow boxes
Pack ‘em up pack ‘em up
Pack ‘em up pack ‘em up
Yellow boxes
Pack those yellow boxes

Home, pack it up
And leave ‘em a note sayin'
"I don't wanna be here alone"
So can you pack those yellow boxes
And get yourself home
When everything is out of control
And you feel like you have traded your soul
For gold pack those yellow boxes
And make your way home

Pack ‘em up pack ‘em up
Pack ‘em up pack ‘em up
Make your way home
Pack ‘em up pack ‘em up
You can always
Pack those yellow boxes
Make your way home

ох ох )))))))))))))))))))

Where the eff have I been?!!!!!! This song is so so great! what do I do?

Tyler, when i listen to your songs, i can see your history through them. That's absolutely amazing, 'cause it creates a strong conection between you and your public and that's real stuff right there. So, congratulations. The combination of "dashes" and "yellow boxes", for me, makes total sense and show how you've grown as a human. Thank you for sharing your music. You're making sense to the world. THANK YOU!

define made it? I'm pretty sure although I was defined as made it- I can actually make it further.

MiiNGzt lmao thanks for this!

I remember listening to this when it first came out and I was still subbed to this channel but I changed my acc since then and I completely forgot to check it out again later. I still see his tweets and Instagram stories/posts and I always forget to go back and subscribe again. I've finally remembered now and I went straight to this and nostalgia broke me. <3

Wow! just listened to this amazing song while shopping in germany. I was so happy and surprised, I nearly jumped into the veggie isle 😊

No way! That's amazing 😊 Thanks for coming back to this video to tell me about it, Julie!

I love the truth in this song. I feel like I've gotten a peek at your should and found it looked a whole lot like my own. Thank you for being so real

one of my favourite lyrics...!

Love this song :)

i really really love your music, and i want to tell you that the fame doesn't matter. be a music soul and a haven of person, be a rare song that make sense because popular song nowadays got no soul. PLEASE MAKE MORE MUSIC, BE RARE, BE A ONE OF A MILLION SONG, I LOVE YOU OMG I WILL SUPPORT YOUR MUSIC BECAUSE IT HAS A SOUL, A POWER THAT MADE MY MIND AND HEART AT EASE WHENEVER I LISTEN TO IT. YOU DONT NEED RECOGNITION, YOU NEED GENUINE APPRECIATION FROM FEW PEOPLE WHO LOVES YOU AND YOUR MUSIC DEEPLY. PLEASE DO MORE!!!

Maybe I should really pack my yellow boxes and leave them just this note

good voice

he makes great music

is this song after dashes song !?... I feel it complete it ...nice song

Mr. Tyler Ward, your voice is so unique! I love all your songs but this song reached the top of my lungs!!!Such a great song! It's so flawless and perfect. It matches the rhythm on your guitar.

I think you can be next to Ed Sheeran or Charlie Puth because of your perfect talent. I wish you were, then I'm your biggest fan!

Anyone else notice the similarity between this song and "Smoke" by A Thousand Horses?

love it <3

Was this a song inspired when you realized what was going wrong after your tour?

This's a beautiful song and made me miss my home TT

Hearing this song every time just brings out a lot of emotions in me. It just hits me right to the core, dude. It's like every word reaches my soul and it feels good. It's very heart warming just listening to this. Thank you so much for this wonderful song. Amazing! Keep it up! God Bless you..

As a once-homeless teenager, with now enough money and support to find my roots and return to where I love most, this hit me. Finally I can go home - by making my own. Your music is beautiful, absolutely love your covers <3

Can I use his song for my first music video please

Would you please do an acoustic cover of Sunrise by Our Last Night?

THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!

Wise words Tyler. Thank you for opening up my eyes

just realised this track sounds like smoke. nevertheless, a good song. a Tyler classic. much love!!!

O-O so good :3 ^-^

Your voice is a key for me.. to get out of the sad times... I must say thank you for what you do it means the world to me <3 - Sean, 16

I'm from Parker and used to go to PEPC. My mom totally recognized you when I was watching one of your videos

Very good.

your songs are so good! Could you do another songwriting video?

tylers music goes under my skin with every song more and more and i love this music so much

That was really soul touching lyrics ...

what genre are these kind of songs? is thus cobsidered as modern country?

I consider this album to be inspirational... And Christian-driven in some cases, but not all of Tyler's music falls into that category.

Really love this song. What drum samples are you using?

You're simply amazing.

I like your voice!

Omg i watched youre songwriter video because i wanted to songwrite i saw better and this video yellow boxes and i just want to say i LOVVEEEW IT you inspired me i love it when you look up at youre dreams thank you alot for inpire me ..🤗

Wow! Loveeee this song....

My boxes are brown :(

This song is beautiful.

Having just seen your video on your problem with drinking, this song just got a totally new dimension. Great, and hang in there ^.^

What does yellow boxes mean? Can someone please explain? ( I loveee the song btw!)

those standard cardboard boxes you put your stuff in when moving.

But why is yellow boxes so significant? Like, the whipped album is called yellow boxes...

i guess it's kind of a good symbol to "leaving, moving on". 

Oh, okay, thanks!

Beautiful song!

This Is now my favorite song!!! <3

It's a beautiful song, but sounds like Smoke by A thousand horses :) your lyrics have so much connection I think with rising stars and musicians. it's good advice too! Good music Tyler, just stay strong in this beautiful struggle called life :)

I've listened this song thousand times today!

Good one .. Moving to BeTTer <3

Your music speaks volumes. I love you and your music so much. I FEEL when I listen to you.

I wonder if I did that would I find you at the end of the road with yellow boxes

I can really relate to this song, thanks bro Tyler for bringing awesome songs! :) GOD bless !

omg 11 November i'm finally gonna see you with my best friend! our first time because we live in Holland :( but we're so excited! we can't wait. you make us both always happy with your music💝

You're such an inspiration to me, and you have been since I heard your music a year ago! Thanks man! Keep up with the work you do! It's very moving!

I was listening this song a few mouth ago, when I moved from my parent's to a new city. I never realize I would miss my family, because it's really not my type. but now I can't spend a day without crying because I just want to go home. Sadly I can't because of what I am studing in. I wish it will pass and that I'll feel free again. So instead of going back, I'm listening to this song again and I will keep repeating myself "what if it works?"
Thanks Tyler to be such a wonderfull person and to stay true and honest. You are precious for a lot of us.

Lots of love

i love this song

+Tyler Ward Music This song really hit me. I'm from Arizona and I flew across the country to Washington, DC for my Master's. I flew alone, not knowing anyone. I thought, "it's okay, this will be my future career,  I must be happy." One year later, I was slowly discovering that I wasn't happy there. I withdrew from my program, packed up my bags, and went home. While I'm still discovering what the right path is for me, I am happily employed at two part-time jobs.

 --God closes one door and opens another. God has a plan for me and I just have to be patient.

 --Tyler, I met you at the San Francisco pop up concert last week and, although I was late, it was wonderful. Your music is inspiring and so heartfelt. I love you!

This song let me feel relax,comfortable.maybe we always started thinking more after working many years. Money is most important thing? maybe not i guess...Much more things that money can't exchange. e.g. family,love...

One of my best song
Tyler Ward ♥ I'm a new Huuuuge Fan ♥♥
Keep Going....

Anyone else think that the chorus is almost identical to a country song called "Smoke by A thousand Horses"? good song, just wondering if it was just me!

One of the best song's I ever heard you create Tyler! I also love the rest of the album as well, I listen to it everyday! :) You are amazing, never stop making your dreams come true! P.S I don't think you should get with "Taylor" she's not your type. (And beside's she blew you off anyway! Sorry didn't mean to add insult to injury!)

I FELL INLOVE WHIT THIS SONG! <3

it makes me feel all the feels 😭😭

the most talented guy ever! I am in love with your voice!!!! Thank you so much!

Nice song, well played. I love it.

wow, almost made me cry... not the first time I hear it but the first time I really listen to the lyrics... wow :)

Thank you I'm lost but your slowly lighting my way
