Matchbook
Drift
Paper and sulfur, memory and spark. Brief vocals over minimal beat, the sound of pockets and possibilities. This track is the souvenir you didn't plan to keep.
Lyrics
Found a matchbook from that place
On Grand we went to once
Your handwriting on the inside
A phone number or a dare
I keep the small things
The ones that barely weigh a thing
Somehow they're the heaviest
At a quarter after three
The radiator's ticking warm
The street below is wet and still
I'm reading all your old texts backwards
Like they'll say something different
I keep the small things
The ones that barely weigh a thing
Somehow they're the heaviest
At a quarter after three
It's not the missing that surprises me
It's how specific it gets
A matchbook and a memory
That barely weighs a thing
