Polaroids

Found your name on a crumpled receipt Folded corner, little heart in the ink

Quarter past three in the back of the cab We were laughing at nothing, just glad to

Be sad Spilled fries on your thrift store coat

You swore you'd fix the line and never wrote that note

You hummed some song you never finished that year

I still know every chord that you whispered in my ear

You're a Polaroid in the sock drawer Half faded but you're still there

Little flash burn on my brain stem Dust in the late night air

I try to live like I don't miss you Trip over every old year

You're a Polaroid in the sock drawer And I keep you right here, right here

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Kitchen tiles, feet cold on the floor You read bad poems from your crack phone

Wanting more, steam on the window Drew halos round your face

You said promise me you'll never try to leave this place

Now the plants died but your mug's on the shelf Lipstick ghost on the rim talking to myself

I play voicemails just to hear how you breathe Every hesitation feels like it's tugging on my sleeve

You're a Polaroid in the sock drawer Half faded but you're still there

Little flash burn on my brain stem Dust in the late night air

I try to live like I don't miss you Trip over every old year

You're a Polaroid in the sock drawer And I keep you right here, right here

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Yeah, I know it's been some time Got new stories, got new lines

But every quiet in between Is your name on the screen

That never lights, never rings You're a Polaroid in the sock drawer

Half faded but you're still there Soft halo on the dark day's

Glow of a burned out flare I try to live like I don't miss you

But you're stitched into each tear You're a Polaroid in the sock drawer

And I keep you right here, right here, right here, right here, right here
