lyrics

My phone face-down by the cup

At half past one, I still pick it up

The screen goes white on my knee

Your name lands there like a habit on me

I say I’ll leave it till the morning

I say that every week

But the little blue bubble opens

And I can’t let it be

Same old name

Same old name

Same old name

Same old name

Last on the screen

Like it’s always been

Wet coat on the back of the chair

Bus ticket folded in the stairwell air

Your words come in, neat and plain

Just one more line, then it starts again

I set the phone on the windowsill

Turn the sound off, close the lid

But the lock screen glows in the dark

Like it knows what I did

Same old name

Same old name

Same old name

Same old name

Last on the screen

Like it’s always been

I count the cups in the sink

The sugar tin, the chipped blue rim

I tell myself I’m done with this

Then your message pulls me in

Same old name

Same old name

Same old name

Same old name

Last on the screen

Like it’s always been
