lyrics

I folded your note by the sink

Into the blue wool drawer

Now the ink has gone pale in the light

By the cracked cedar floor

I found it beside wool socks

And a receipt from Fred Meyer

My thumb on the crease of your name

Like a bruise I still admire

At 2:14, I almost rang

Then I watched the screen go black

The kettle cooled on the stove

And I slid the whole thing back

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Rain on the window in Pearl

Left rings on the glass by dawn

I meant to mail it downtown

But the stamp kept staying on

The corner bent from my keys

And the envelope smells like pine

I keep it under a stack

Of maps and an old train line

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

I read it once on the floor

With my knees in the rug

You asked for one clean goodbye

I gave you a note and a shrug

If I sent it, it might break

What little is left of us

So it stays with the dust and the socks

And the lamp with the busted bulb

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer

Still in the drawer
