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
