lyrics

At six, I split the bakery box with a knife

Left my phone face-down by the kettle in the light

One candle on the sink, and it made the tiles shine

I ate that black-berry slice alone and felt fine

I watched the steam climb up

From the blue mug by the sink

No knocks, no plans, no fuss

Just the fridge and me to think

I stayed in

I stayed in

I stayed in

I stayed in

Birthday cake on the plate

And nobody late

The tram rattled past on Mannerheimintie

I heard it through the glass, then I let it be

I folded my shirt on the chair, neat and square

Put the good socks away, like I had nowhere

Eight forty on the stove

The numbers blinked and burned

I turned the key once more

And never once returned

I stayed in

I stayed in

I stayed in

I stayed in

Birthday cake on the plate

And nobody late

At midnight, I rinsed the fork in the sink

Cold water on my wrist, and I didn’t sink

My name on the card, still taped to the wall

I read it once, then let it fall

I stayed in

I stayed in

I stayed in

I stayed in

Birthday cake on the plate

And nobody late
