lyrics

I put your key on the blue tray by the door

Same brass scratch, same dent from your bike

You took the spare and left the chain on the floor

I pocketed the ring when you turned out the light

In the hall by the mirror, I held it too long

Cold in my palm, like a word unsaid

You said keep the shape, but not the way home

So I let go of the key, kept the circle instead

Keep the ring, keep the ring

Keep the ring, keep the ring

I gave back the key

Keep the ring, keep the ring

At Stenpiren I watched the ferries move slow

My coat still smelled like your tram-day rain

You wanted one lock, but I needed a glow

So I slid the key out and kept the chain

In the hall by the mirror, I held it too long

Cold in my palm, like a word unsaid

You said keep the shape, but not the way home

So I let go of the key, kept the circle instead

Keep the ring, keep the ring

Keep the ring, keep the ring

I gave back the key

Keep the ring, keep the ring

At eleven-fifteen, I stood by the sink

A little brass moon in the soap dish light

You can have the lock, you can have what you think

I’ll keep this small weight through the night

Keep the ring, keep the ring

Keep the ring, keep the ring

I gave back the key

Keep the ring, keep the ring
