lyrics

I found it in the tin by the cups

Your smile caught in dusty daylight

Two plates, one crack, and the blue enamel tops

I turn it face down every night

My thumb on the corner, I freeze

The paper bends in my hands

Outside, matatus hiss by the trees

But I still know where you stand

I can't delete it

I can't delete it

I can't delete it

I can't delete it

On my drawer by the braids

On my tongue when I say

I can't delete it

I can't delete it

At Jomo drive, the bus window fogs

Your face comes back in the glass

I keep that photo inside a small black log

Like a coin I can't let pass

I can't delete it

I can't delete it

I can't delete it

I can't delete it

On my drawer by the braids

On my tongue when I say

I can't delete it

I can't delete it

I fold it once, then twice, then slow

The paper edge bites my palm

If I look now, I already know

My breathing will split the calm

I can't delete it

I can't delete it

I can't delete it

I can't delete it

On my drawer by the braids

On my tongue when I say

I can't delete it

I can't delete it
