lyrics
This morning in Rathmines, I made tea in a chipped blue cup Rain on the back step, and the bus hissed under the bridge My thumb went to the app, then I let the screen just sleep alone I folded the grey dish towel and left it on the fridge I watched the red kettle shiver on the ring Half past eight, and not a single thing I didn’t check today, I didn’t check today I didn’t check today, I didn’t check today I let the minute pass, I let it go away I didn’t check today, I didn’t check today At Connolly, I stood by the newsstand and bought a plum Your name sat in my pocket like a coin I wouldn’t spend I stared at the wet platform tiles, then at my own two hands And kept walking past the glass where I used to look again The phone stayed quiet in my coat By then I knew, I knew it float I didn’t check today, I didn’t check today I didn’t check today, I didn’t check today I let the minute pass, I let it go away I didn’t check today, I didn’t check today That was the day in the corner of the kitchen light One missed habit, then another, and the room felt right No big parade, no slammed door, just my thumb turned slow And the dark screen showed me more than I wanted to know I didn’t check today, I didn’t check today I didn’t check today, I didn’t check today I let the minute pass, I let it go away I didn’t check today, I didn’t check today
