lyrics

Your jacket on the chair

By the window in Kallio

Rain on the glass at eight

Your sleeve still smells like soap

I folded it once, then twice

Left the cuff by the seam

You said you'd come by Monday

I kept it where you had seen

The tag still faces out

The zipper catches light

I pass that chair each morning

Like a quiet little knife

Don't wash it

Don't wash it

Don't wash it

Don't wash it

Leave your jacket there

Let the fabric hold your shape

Don't wash it

Don't wash it

Don't wash it

Don't wash it

My sink is full of plates

And the basin's gone cold

Your scarf on the radiator

Like a story left untold

I touched the sleeve at midnight

Then I shut off the hall lamp

Some things stay on the chair

Some things don't come back

The thread at the pocket frays

The lining turns to dusk

I hear the tram outside

But your coat is what I trust

Don't wash it

Don't wash it

Don't wash it

Don't wash it

Leave your jacket there

Let the fabric hold your shape

Don't wash it

Don't wash it

Don't wash it

Don't wash it

On a January floor

I count the buttons slow

If I clean it out, I know

What I already know

The collar keeps your bend

The cuff still keeps your heat

So leave it on that chair

Like you never really leave

Don't wash it

Don't wash it

Don't wash it

Don't wash it

Leave your jacket there

Let the fabric hold your shape

Don't wash it

Don't wash it

Don't wash it

Don't wash it
