lyrics

Your mug still sits by the sink

Blue rim, one chip on the side

I play the demo you linked

In my phone, where you used to hide

The tram goes by on the street

At six, through the wet dark glass

I count the keys in my coat

Your name on the tag feels like brass

You left your coat on the chair

I left my voice in the tune

Now every note in the room

Turns like a knife in a spoon

Not ours now

Not ours now

Not ours now

Not ours now

You kept the chorus, left the rest

Your lighter sits in the drawer

Next to a receipt from the store

I heard our song in a bar

And it sounded like yours before

The kettle clicks on the stove

At midnight, in the red glow

I try to sing from the start

But your face steals every show

Not ours now

Not ours now

Not ours now

Not ours now

You kept the chorus, left the rest

I found the paper with lines

Folded deep in the coat

Your perfume on the sleeve

Gone cold in the throat of the note

I can’t say it was love

Not when the chord drags low

It lives in your empty room

Where the cracked white tiles still know

Not ours now

Not ours now

Not ours now

Not ours now

You kept the chorus, left the rest
