lyrics
Blue dawn on Hämeentie, my thumb on the glass Kallio bus fogged up, I watched it all pass Your name stayed quiet; I let it stay blank By the tram stop at six, I could feel the drop in the tank I opened the app, then I locked the screen Saw my own face back, pale in the green No fresh little circle, no ache in the chest Just the kettle in the sink and a life at rest I stopped checking I stopped checking I stopped checking I stopped checking Two mugs in the rack, one with a chip in the side Rain on the courtyard, slow and wide Your photo sat there like a book on a shelf And I kept my hands busy, leaving me to myself I reached for the scroll, then I left it alone The train under Pasila shook through the bone At ten forty-two, I let the habit go Like a coat on the chair when the room ran cold I stopped checking I stopped checking I stopped checking I stopped checking In the elevator mirror, my eyes looked clear No pinch in the gut when your face appeared So I let the phone lie face-down by the bed And the silence grew clean in the space you left I stopped checking I stopped checking I stopped checking I stopped checking
