lyrics

In my San Antonio kitchen, by the chipped white sink

Your face on my screen, and it makes me think

I tried to delete it at 12:14

But my thumb froze up, like it knew what I seen

The blue plastic case cracked at the edge

One bad little photo, and I still don’t rest

It sits in my phone like a folded-up note

Too small to burn, too sharp to let go

I scroll past fast, then I scroll back slow

Hands on the phone, but I won’t let it show

If I lock that screen, it still stays there

One little frame in the afternoon air

I keep the photo

I keep the photo

I keep the photo

I keep the photo

Can’t delete your face

Can’t look too long

By the H-E-B lot, with the cart in my hand

I see that same smile from a late-night stand

Your old black boots, my red nail gloss

That tiny grain line and the way I got lost

I moved to the drawer by the spare room key

Then back to my phone when it got too quiet for me

I act real tough, but the truth comes through

One little picture still knows what to do

I keep the photo

I keep the photo

I keep the photo

I keep the photo

Can’t delete your face

Can’t look too long

I put the phone face down by the stove

Count to ten, then I lose control

If I swipe left, I feel you stay

If I hold still, you don’t go away

I keep the photo

I keep the photo

I keep the photo

I keep the photo

Can’t delete your face

Can’t look too long
