lyrics

Lake Oval coin laundry, ten to ten

A strip of Kodak on the dresser again

Your thumb on my cheek, now it’s stained with rain

I jammed it in a drawer, but it won’t stay there plain

I can’t cut that frame

I can’t scrub that name

It sits in my teeth

Like a broken glass seam

I can’t delete it

I can’t delete it

I can’t delete it

I can’t delete it

Carlton tram rattles past the fruit shop gate

I pull that snap from the bin at half past eight

One red gum boot, one sleeve, one cracked smile

I toss it in my bag and it burns all the while

I can’t cut that frame

I can’t scrub that name

It sits in my teeth

Like a broken glass seam

I can’t delete it

I can’t delete it

I can’t delete it

I can’t delete it

Bathroom tile, cold knee, phone face down

I turn the screen black, still it comes around

Bit my lip, tore the corner, held it till it bent

Mum’s old scissors on the sink, but I still left it

I can’t delete it

I can’t delete it

I can’t delete it

I can’t delete it
