Lyrics

[Intro]
[Verse]
Rain taps a steady little rhythm on the glass
Watching all the quiet morning minutes pass
It’s been six months since you left it on the chair
I still find the ghost of you almost everywhere
Folding up the sleeves of your old band tee
Resting the faded black cotton on my knee
Tracing the logo where the ink is getting thin
Remembering the messy places we have been
[Pre-Chorus]
Stars on the ceiling start to peel
Losing the way they used to feel
Matcha is getting cold and old
A story that doesn't need to be told
[Chorus]
I’ll keep it in the drawer
Right beside the floor
Just a soft little piece of the past
Never meant for the feeling to last
It’s a bittersweet kind of a glow
Watching the heavy clouds go
I’m okay with the space you left behind
Keeping the threads in my mind
[Post-Chorus]
Cotton and dust
Quiet and trust
Softly I sigh
Letting it lie
[Verse]
My matcha is half-empty sitting by the bed
Thinking of the heavy things I never said
I wonder if the magic was ever really real
Or just a clever way to make a heart feel
Fingers find a crinkled little ticket stub
From that loud and sweaty basement club
Tucked in the pocket like a secret note
A tiny little anchor for a paper boat
[Chorus]
I’ll keep it in the drawer
Right beside the floor
Just a soft little piece of the past
Never meant for the feeling to last
It’s a bittersweet kind of a glow
Watching the heavy clouds go
I’m okay with the space you left behind
Keeping the threads in my mind
[Bridge]
The Casio plays a lonely chord
Nothing I can’t afford
Just a warble on the tape today
Watching the colors turn to gray
Softly I fold the fabric small
Leaning my head against the wall
[Chorus]
I’ll keep it in the drawer
Right beside the floor
Just a soft little piece of the past
Never meant for the feeling to last
It’s a bittersweet kind of a glow
Watching the heavy clouds go
I’m okay with the space you left behind
Keeping the threads in my mind
[Outro]
