The Jasmine Clock

[Intro]
[Verse]
The jasmine wicks are burning low
In shadows where we used to go
The matchbox sits upon the floor
Beside the peeling kitchen door
[Verse]
We split a burrito on a plate
Two minutes late is worth the wait
You told a joke about your dad
The hardest laugh we ever had
[Pre-Chorus]
The lease was like a heavy stone
A secret that we both had known
We counted down the Friday nights
Underneath the flickering lights
[Chorus]
Three months left to breathe
Before we both have to leave
A tiny clock inside the wall
Watching every shadow fall
[Post-Chorus]
It’s the small things
The uncelebrated stings
The quiet hall
The rise and fall
[Break]
[Verse]
Soda snorted through your nose
Dripping down onto your clothes
We wiped the carpet with a rag
And hid the heavy moving bag
[Verse]
Your plant is dying on the sill
The air is getting very chill
We talk about the new address
While living in this beautiful mess
[Pre-Chorus]
The lease was like a heavy stone
A secret that we both had known
We counted down the Friday nights
Underneath the flickering lights
[Chorus]
Three months left to breathe
Before we both have to leave
A tiny clock inside the wall
Watching every shadow fall
[Bridge]
Now I walk past a garden gate
And smell the flower I used to hate
But now it tastes like apartment air
And the messy way you wore your hair
[Verse]
The boxes started in the hall
Tape screaming 'gainst the painted wall
We didn't say the word "goodbye"
Just "see you" with a heavy eye
[Chorus]
Three months left to breathe
Before we both have to leave
A tiny clock inside the wall
Watching every shadow fall
[Post-Chorus]
It’s the small things
The uncelebrated stings
The quiet hall
The rise and fall
[Outro]
