lyrics

Your name sits on my screen

beside the cracked blue case

I saved your words in June

on Uhuru Highway's train case

I press play in the sink

while rinsing tea from a mug

Your laugh hits through the tin

and lands on my rug

At nine-fifteen, the kettle hums

I hold my phone with both hands

You said you'd call from far away

now your last note still stands

I kept your voicemail

I kept your voicemail

I kept your voicemail

I kept your voicemail

Don't let it fade out

Don't let it fade out

I charge the phone by noon

next to a packet of sugar

The little green light blinks

like a taxi by the curb

Your voice says, "Wait for me"

through the room and the plate

I leave it on repeat

till the rice goes cold on the stove

At nine-fifteen, the kettle hums

I hold my phone with both hands

You said you'd call from far away

now your last note still stands

I kept your voicemail

I kept your voicemail

I kept your voicemail

I kept your voicemail

Don't let it fade out

Don't let it fade out

If you ring from another coast

I'll hear it in one breath

Until then, your number sleeps

in the corner of my chest

The screen goes dark

I tap it awake again

I kept your voicemail

I kept your voicemail

I kept your voicemail

I kept your voicemail

Don't let it fade out

Don't let it fade out
