I Keep Your Name in My Pocket

Intro

mm-mm, mm

(soft like paper)

Verse

I fold the evening into the corner of a page

Your name in small ink, a careful, crooked trace

Window open to the rain, it keeps me company (keeps me)

Steam on the glass, my thumb maps where you used to be

Pre-chorus

I don't need a story, just a postcard of the weight (uh-huh)

Quiet rooms and tiny lights that tell me it's okay

Chorus

I keep your name in my pocket, I keep it slow, I keep it low

I keep your name in my pocket, I let it go, I let it go

I keep your name in my pocket, I keep it slow, I keep it low

I keep your name in my pocket, soft and small, soft and small (mm)

Verse

Tea gone cold beside an open book I never read

Matches burned like small regrets inside my head

I trace a crooked smile on the corner of the day

Fold it twice and tuck it where the light forgets to stay (forget to stay)

Pre-chorus

I don't want a crowd, just the hush of what you said (yeah)

Two syllables, a secret I can carry to my bed

Chorus

I keep your name in my pocket, I keep it slow, I keep it low

I keep your name in my pocket, I let it go, I let it go

I keep your name in my pocket, I keep it slow, I keep it low

I keep your name in my pocket, soft and small, soft and small (ah)

Bridge

If morning asks for reasons, I'll draw a map with no return

If the rain wants to tell me stories, I'll listen while it learns

No loud goodbyes, no sudden lines, just a folded, quiet place

Where I can hear the small things, where I can find my face (find my face)

Chorus

I keep your name in my pocket, I keep it slow, I keep it low

I keep your name in my pocket, I let it go, I let it go

I keep your name in my pocket, I keep it slow, I keep it low

I keep your name in my pocket, soft and small, soft and small (mm-mm)
