lyrics

At Bloor and Bathurst, rain on my coat

My thumb on the screen, my jaw set cold

The kettle clicked once in the other room

I left your name where the blue dot moved

Nine forty-two, I still checked twice

Mug on the counter, dead phone light

Then I shut the app, let the chair creak slow

And let your little icon go

I saw my face in the black glass frame

No rush in my hands, no need to chase

The habit slipped on the tile at my feet

Like a key I dropped and didn't reach

I stopped checking you

I stopped checking you

I stopped checking you

I stopped checking you

Blue dot gone

Blue dot gone

Blue dot gone

Blue dot gone

On Queen in the cold, with a paper bag

Late train shaking through the tracks

My fingers stayed still in my mitten seam

No pull at all, no afterglow memory

Your last post sat there like a closed door

I scrolled past once, then I wanted more

But the Want faded out by the laundromat light

And I walked home easy for the first time

The screen went dim, my breath came clean

No little ache under my sleeve

I put my phone face down by the sink

And heard the tap drip, one, two, three

I stopped checking you

I stopped checking you

I stopped checking you

I stopped checking you

Blue dot gone

Blue dot gone

Blue dot gone

Blue dot gone

In the mirror by the stairwell door

My eyes looked steadier than before

Your name was a room I used to pace

Now it's just dust on a window pane

I stopped checking you

I stopped checking you

I stopped checking you

I stopped checking you

Blue dot gone

Blue dot gone

Blue dot gone

Blue dot gone
