lyrics

Smashed coffee cup by the sink last night

Your hoodie on the chair, blue and white

I scrolled your name at the tram stop bench

Now my thumb just twitches, then I left

Phone face down on the Formica slab

Keys in the bowl, I didn’t look back

I laughed at the dog on the neighbor’s lawn

Then I caught myself, and the itch was gone

Stopped checking, stopped checking

Stopped checking, stopped checking

I let it spin, then I let it slide

Stopped checking, stopped checking

Flats on the lino, rain on the tin

Fourteen minutes late to Brunswick again

Saw your face in a shopfront glass

Kept walking hard, let the moment pass

Train doors shut with a tinny squeal

My thumb stayed still on the cracked-up screen

No fresh photo, no mess to scan

Just my own breath in a cut-up hand

Stopped checking, stopped checking

Stopped checking, stopped checking

I let it spin, then I let it slide

Stopped checking, stopped checking

Fluoro hum in the servo aisle

Cheap chips, sore feet, and a crooked smile

I thought I’d need you to get through

Turns out I don’t, and that’s the truth

Stopped checking, stopped checking

Stopped checking, stopped checking

I let it spin, then I let it slide

Stopped checking, stopped checking
