lyrics
I kept your voicemail on my old phone screen At seven twelve, it blinked in green Your last words crackled through the train-line roar I saved that file when you walked out the door Now I hear your breath in the plastic case A tiny held note in a blank blue space I press play twice, then I let it go Your old goodbye still moves so slow Keep it on Keep it on Keep it on Keep it on In my drawer, by the receipts and keys Keep it on Keep it on Keep it on Keep it on Till the battery sleeps Your number sits under a cracked glass pane Next to a plum stamp and a coffee stain I moved your voice from the saved list line To a folder named after the summer rain When the screen goes black, I still know your tone Like a pink plastic shell in a quiet home I don’t call back, I just let it stay A small brown cassette from a far-off bay Keep it on Keep it on Keep it on Keep it on In my drawer, by the receipts and keys Keep it on Keep it on Keep it on Keep it on Till the battery sleeps At midnight, I sit by the laundry rack Fold one blue towel, then fold it back Your voice says “hello” through the static line Like a train window fogged from the inside Keep it on Keep it on Keep it on Keep it on In my drawer, by the receipts and keys Keep it on Keep it on Keep it on Keep it on Till the battery sleeps
