lyrics

I find your teaspoons in a tin

Your boots still wait beside the door

A Rusta receipt, folded thin

A tram card slipped under the floor

I stack the mugs in milk-crate rows

I label lids with black marker names

The hallway fills with cardboard snow

And every shelf still keeps your games

Box by box

Box by box

Box by box

Box by box

I keep what you kept

Your winter coat still smells of rain

A ferry ticket, torn in two

The kitchen clock has lost its chain

I count the nails you drove in blue

I pull the drawers, the joints, the screws

A jam jar shines with five-krona coins

The radio hums through flattened news

As dust turns silver in the blinds

Box by box

Box by box

Box by box

Box by box

I keep what you kept

In Majorna, the movers wait

I tie the tape, I close the cart

A glass ashtray, a birthday plate

Your handwriting still finds my heart

Box by box

Box by box

Box by box

Box by box

I keep what you kept
