Keep the Window Cracked (Version 2) — Paper Moth

Verse

Amber lamp, a paper shade

Steam that curls and starts to fade

Old cassette, the tape hiss hums

Homework page with coffee thumbs

Streetlight paints the wall in gold

Same old chair, the same soft cold

Pencil taps a slow four-four

Your old hoodie on the floor

Pre-Chorus

Do you still hear that station play

Somewhere far, some other day

Does the quiet feel this wide

On your side

Chorus

Keep the window cracked tonight

Let the cool come drift inside

Radiator ticks the time

Everything is fine, is fine

Keep the window cracked tonight

Just to feel that porch light

Still there, still mine

Verse

Photograph beneath the glass

Faded now like April grass

Rain against the windowpane

Sounds the same, again, again

Kettle sighs on the back stove

Half a letter never sent, love

Dog-eared book, the corner bent

Marks the hour that you went

Pre-Chorus

Do you still hear that station play

Somewhere far, some other day

Does the quiet feel this wide

On your side

Chorus

Keep the window cracked tonight

Let the cool come drift inside

Radiator ticks the time

Everything is fine, is fine

Keep the window cracked tonight

Just to feel that porch light

Still there, still mine

Bridge

Maybe warmth was never walls

Just a hum before it falls

Just a chair, a cup, a name

Held the same, held the same

Chorus

Keep the window cracked tonight

Let the cool come drift inside

Radiator ticks the time

Everything is fine, is fine

Keep the window cracked tonight

Just to feel that porch light

Still there, still mine
