lyrics
Your voice lives in my phone Sixteen seconds, then gone Found it in rain on the bus From Peckham to the 7 bus Blue case, cracked by the edge Screen lit up on my bed You said, “I’m out on the road” Still I kept that code I press play, then I wait Your laugh fills the space Old date, August 8 I don’t let it erase Keep the voicemail Keep the voicemail Keep the voicemail Keep the voicemail You left with a black holdall I stayed with your last call Jollof on my Tupperware plate Cold tea by the window gate Now Peckham rain taps hard Lagos still in my heart Your message sits in the dark Like my name in your mark Keep the voicemail Keep the voicemail Keep the voicemail Keep the voicemail If you ring, I might not speak I might just breathe and keep Your “hello” on repeat Till my whole chest is neat Keep the voicemail Keep the voicemail Keep the voicemail Keep the voicemail
