Keep My Head Low

Sanoitukset

[Intro] Cold cup sweating by the window frame I count the hours, never say your name [Verse 1] Bus brakes sigh on the avenue below Your old blue scarf still hangs beside the door I learned to leave before the room went still Now every quiet asks me what I feel [Chorus] I keep my head low, keep my hands clean Carry that weight where nobody sees If I go quiet, don't call it peace I'm still right here, just hard to reach [Verse 2] Receipts curled up in a chipped glass bowl A list of plans I never got to know My brother called; I let it ring once more Then watched the rain draw lines across the floor [Chorus] I keep my head low, keep my hands clean Carry that weight where nobody sees If I go quiet, don't call it peace I'm still right here, just hard to reach [Bridge] You said the hurt would loosen with the years I kept your sentence folded with my fears Now one long note can hold what I can't say And the guitar remembers anyway [Final Chorus] I keep my head low, keep my hands clean Carry that weight where nobody sees If I go quiet, don't call it peace I'm still right here, just hard to reach [Outro] The bus rolls on; the cup goes cold I let the morning take its hold
