lyrics

I don’t love him in the way I did before
I was there and I remember clearly why I closed the door
And I know it sounds like danger to your ears
But there are spaces in between “a lover” and “a stranger” here

Please excuse the mess that is my room that is my heart
I am a very keeping person
I hold onto what I hold on from the start
Photographs and magazines and notes written on old receipts
I will not let you recede from my view
I’m keeping you, I’m keeping you
It’s what I do

So you wonder if a space for you
As I hand the keys that lead into a furniture-less room
Unlock the door and give a tour, I reassure you it’s all fine
Yet skepticism’s dimming every light I shine

Please excuse the mess that is my room that is my heart
I am a very keeping person; I hold onto what I hold on from the start
Photographs and magazines and notes written on old receipts
I will not let you recede from my view
I’m keeping you, I’m keeping you
It’s what I do

Can you climb to the vaulted ceiling of your mind?
Capture a view of what was left behind?
And yet, the space continues to expand
Somewhere in there, love finds a place to land

Please excuse the mess that is my room that is my heart
I am a very keeping person
I hold onto what I hold on from the start
Photographs and magazines and notes written on old receipts
I will not let you recede from my view
I’m keeping you, I’m keeping you
It’s what I do

Please excuse the mess that is my room that is my heart
I am a very keeping person
I hold on
