lyrics
You wrote it on a coaster, red ink, corner bent At Waffle House at two, when the whole tank ran empty You laughed, said "I'll be there," with that loose-lid grin Now I'm rinsing out the cup, and it's still in the sink You said it like a dare, like a game you could win Then your head hit my shoulder, and you slept through the truth I kept that paper folded in my denim back pocket By the church receipt, by the gum, by the blue Sharpie cap Now the date on my phone won't move And your key's in the bowl by the door I hear your boots on the tile When the apartment gets too quiet You kept it You kept it You kept it You kept it Drunk or not, you meant it You kept it You kept it You kept it You kept it I can still feel it Thursday in Decatur, six-thirty, Kroger bags You brought my favorite peaches in that paper twist tie No big speech, just a nod, just a hand on the frame Like you knew some promises need a sober face I watched you set the milk down, watched the spoon in the glass Watched your sleeves roll up slow, watched the bruise on your wrist You never made it loud, never dressed it in gold You just showed up exact, in your work shirt, dark blue Now the date on my phone won't move And your key's in the bowl by the door I hear your boots on the tile When the apartment gets too quiet You kept it You kept it You kept it You kept it Drunk or not, you meant it You kept it You kept it You kept it You kept it I can still feel it Morning light on the counter Your glass turned upside down The coaster kept your print there I never threw it out One promise, one small circle Still warm in my hand You were gone by the driveway But you came back as planned You kept it You kept it You kept it You kept it Drunk or not, you meant it You kept it You kept it You kept it You kept it I can still feel it
