lyrics

I dropped the key by the bowl at the door

You said, “Take it back,” at half past four

I slid it in your hand, then watched you turn

But the little brass ring made my fingers burn

From Lekki to Peckham, same small score

One key on the tray, one ring I adore

You left with the tooth, I kept the shine

Now it sits in my purse like it knew the time

You said, “Just the key, not the chain”

I nodded once, but kept the frame

On Rye Lane, rain on my sleeve

That ring in my palm won’t leave

I kept the ring

I kept the ring

I kept the ring

I kept the ring

By the bus stop, your text came through

“Meet me by the shop at twenty-two”

I held that circle, cold in my fist

Like a small gold promise I couldn’t resist

You got the key back, clean and plain

But the ring stayed warm from my hand and rain

At the corner store, I bought some gum

And the ring tapped glass like a tiny drum

I kept the ring

I kept the ring

I kept the ring

I kept the ring

If you ask for it, I’ll say it straight

The key went home, but the ring stayed late

In my coat pocket, next to my phone

One little loop that won’t come home

I kept the ring

I kept the ring

I kept the ring

I kept the ring
