lyrics

I met you off Broadway, near San Pedro Park

You left your key on my chain by the truck in the dark

I set the deadbolt free, slid it back through your hand

You drove off with the metal, I still wore the band

At H-E-B on Hildebrand, I heard it click and sway

One ring for the memory, one ring for the day

You said “keep what you want,” then you looked away

So I tucked it in my pocket and walked down Broadway

I kept the ring

I kept the ring

I kept the ring

I kept the ring

You took the key

I kept the ring

You took the key

I kept the ring

At Mission Reach by the water, my phone screen lit at nine

Your name sat there like a penny on a counter line

I could've mailed it in a box, but I let it ride

That little steel halo stayed warm by my side

Outside the Pearl at closing, your taillights pulled apart

I gave you back the door, but not the little part

That spun on my finger when you were in my car

Now it sleeps in my drawer with a buckle and a scar

I kept the ring

I kept the ring

I kept the ring

I kept the ring

You took the key

I kept the ring

You took the key

I kept the ring

At noon I heard it jingle in a denim coat

Six small cuts on my thumb, one silver note

You got your way out clean, I got one small thing

A round little promise hanging off my ring

I kept the ring

I kept the ring

I kept the ring

I kept the ring

You took the key

I kept the ring

You took the key

I kept the ring
