Screen Door
Drift
The screen door bangs shut and the day is done. Neo-soul groove for the moment your body sits down before your mind decides to. Ice cracking in the glass, warm wood under your arms, the whole week shedding like a coat you forgot you were wearing.
Lyrics
Screen door bangs shut and the day is done
Shoes kicked off on the welcome mat
Wood still warm where the sun sat
Nothing left to carry, nothing left to run
Let it settle, let it sink
Ice still cracking in my drink
The porch knows what I need
Before I do
Armrest smooth from a hundred evenings
Concrete holding the day's heat
Somewhere down the block a stereo
Playing something I almost remember
Let it settle, let it sink
Ice still cracking in my drink
The porch knows what I need
Before I do
My body decided before my head
Sat down and the whole week shed
Like a coat I forgot I was wearing
Let it settle, let it sink
Ice still cracking in my drink
The porch knows what I need
Before I do
