lyrics

(spare key)

You gave me a key in April and I've never used the door
I've had it on a ring with nothing else for eight months straight
And I take it out at traffic lights and look at it some more
And I have never once turned up at yours, not once, not late

Because the key is not an invitation
The key is you making sure I don't ask for one

Spare key, spare key, you gave me metal, not a room
Spare key, spare key, you gave me almost, not a yes
And I have kept it like an answer to a question I assume
And I already know the answer and the answer is a mess

I nearly went in August. Sat outside. Engine on.
And a light went on upstairs and I drove home before dawn.

Spare key, spare key, you gave me metal, not a room
Spare key, spare key, you gave me almost, not a yes
And I have kept it like an answer to a question I assume
And I already know the answer and the answer is a mess

(not a yes)
