lyrics

I saved your message on my old Nokia

Three blue bars, then your voice in the hall

Queen and Spadina under grey February

I still hear your laugh in my cracked black wall

I let it play through the click and the tone

Your sweater on my chair, your mug by the sink

I don't press delete when I'm home alone

I let your last word hang on the brink

Keep the voicemail

Keep the voicemail

Keep the voicemail

Keep the voicemail

The screen is scratched up, but your name stays bright

At 11:14, your call came through

I loop that minute on a winter night

While the kettle ticks in the kitchen too

You said you'd send a postcard, "maybe soon"

But the mailbox stays cold, all week long

So I hold your breath inside my room

And I let that old file keep me wrong

Keep the voicemail

Keep the voicemail

Keep the voicemail

Keep the voicemail

I know your train took you west for good

Past the DVP, past the last green sign

Still, I hear your mouth in the headphones hood

Like you never left, like you're still on the line

Keep the voicemail

Keep the voicemail

Keep the voicemail

Keep the voicemail
