lyrics

Fountain pen on the table, blue stain on my thumb

One folded page by the sugar jar, edges gone numb

Your name in the top line, where the lamp leaves a mark

And I sealed it at midnight, then I left it in the dark

Now the drawer sticks halfway, with the spoon and the bills

Little paper kingdom under shopping lists and pills

I hear the whole sentence every time it shifts

But my hand stays still

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

At seven on Tuesday, I pulled out the tray

Saw the red paper clip, saw the ink fade away

Train ticket, receipt, and that crease in the page

Like the words learned to wait there and never escape

Now the drawer sticks halfway, with the spoon and the bills

Little paper kingdom under shopping lists and pills

I hear the whole sentence every time it shifts

But my hand stays still

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

If I send it tonight, it will land on your floor

By a mug with a crack and the key by the door

But the envelope waits in my palm like before

Then it slips back in

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer
