lyrics

Back at the gate by six,

your auntie's curtains closed tight

My key still turns in the lock,

but the mat is gone from the side

The kettle's cold on the stove,

two cups dry in the sink

I know these floorboards well,

they don't move when I blink

Your cousin says, "Keep it low,"

while he stacks boxes by the wall

The bus stop plaque got bent,

and my name don't land here at all

No room, no room

No room, no room

No room, no room

No room for me

I walked past the pink paint tin,

half-buried near the drain

Your younger brother waved once,

then he went back in the rain

The yard got a new chain lock,

the mango tree leans right

I came with old shoes and news,

but the house had changed its mind

No room, no room

No room, no room

No room, no room

No room for me

I left my name on the step,

came back to find it thin

The chair by the window moved,

so I set my bag down in the bin

No room, no room

No room, no room

No room, no room

No room for me
