box of keys

Your mug is still by the sink
Blue rim, chipped on the side
I washed your shirt by mistake
Then I left it on the line

Your key's in the bowl by the door
Cold metal, hollow sound
I keep reaching for your name
Like you'd turn around

But the couch feels too wide
And the air feels strange
I know what we lost
Even if I can't say

Box of keys, box of keys
You left them here with me
Box of keys, box of keys
Now I don't know what to keep
I thought love was a room
But it changed its shape on me
Box of keys, box of keys
You left them here with me

There's a dent in the pillow
Where your head used to fall
Half a note on the table
Says it all, says it all

I tried to make supper
For one, not two
It tasted like quitting
And your silence too

But the couch feels too wide
And the air feels strange
I know what we lost
Even if I can't say

Box of keys, box of keys
You left them here with me
Box of keys, box of keys
Now I don't know what to keep
I thought love was a room
But it changed its shape on me
Box of keys, box of keys
You left them here with me

Maybe we're kinder apart
Maybe that's the truth
Two worn-out names
On one last roof

I won't beg the door
To swing back shut
Some things break clean
Some things just rust

Box of keys, box of keys
You left them here with me
Box of keys, box of keys
Now I don't know what to keep
I thought love was a room
But it changed its shape on me
Box of keys, box of keys
You left them here with me
