lyrics
(a lid twists open) (buttons spill on wood) Your biscuit tin was never sweets Just buttons, sorted, incomplete A brass one from a coat long gone You saved the coat's whole life in bronze (soft, soft) I tip them out across the floor And sort them like you did before (like you did) You kept everything You kept everything The world let go, you held the string You kept everything Every small unwanted thing You kept everything (everything, everything) Your glasses folded on the sill The needle's still got thread to spill Half a hem you meant to mend I'll wear it broken to the end (to the end) They boxed the house in half a day I stole the tin and walked away (walked away) You kept everything You kept everything The world let go, you held the string You kept everything Every small unwanted thing You kept everything (everything, everything) If keeping's how you loved us, then I'm learning how to love again (a button rolls, and stops) You kept everything You kept everything Every small unwanted thing You kept everything (everything) (mmm... mmm) I sewed one button in my coat Now you go everywhere I go (soft, soft)
