lyrics
At six-ten, kettle hissed in the flat Blue mug, wet spoon, and a cracked tile mat I reached for the phone, then I let it stay On the kitchen table, turned face away By noon I was walking past the mall Paper bag swinging, I felt nothing at all No tapping, no scrolling, no little red sign Just bread in my tote and the change in my mind Didn’t check today Didn’t check today Didn’t check today Didn’t check today My hands stayed still My phone stayed dark I chose the street I chose my spark In the tram by Obor, rain on the glass I watched silver drops and let them pass Your name stayed buried under receipts Under lint in my coat and the train-seat seams Then evening came soft through a bakery door Warm rolls in the window, nothing like before I laughed at my reflection in the shop display And it felt like a room with the door blown away Didn’t check today Didn’t check today Didn’t check today Didn’t check today My hands stayed still My phone stayed dark I chose the street I chose my spark I put the charger in the drawer Closed the screen, left it there The river moved under the bridge And I kept my breath I kept my share Didn’t check today Didn’t check today Didn’t check today Didn’t check today My hands stayed still My phone stayed dark I chose the street I chose my spark
