[Verse 1]
Left last week’s lunch
In the backseat heat
Now the lid’s gone cloudy
And the box smells sweet (too sweet)
Red ring halo
Round the edge like shame
Scrub till my thumbs go numb
Still stuck on my name
[Chorus]
Why won’t you let me go?
You cling to me like I’m your home
These Tupperware stains
Know all my mistakes
Hot water
Cold soul
But you still won’t fade
Oh
These Tupperware stains
Outlive every phase I fake
[Verse 2]
Mom said “bleach it
Baking soda
Prayer”
I tried every trick
I found on a forum somewhere
Late night kitchen light
Buzzing over the sink
I’m scrubbing at my past
While the dishes clink (clink)
[Chorus]
Why won’t you let me go?
You cling to me like I’m your home
These Tupperware stains
Know all my mistakes
Hot water
Cold soul
But you still won’t fade
Oh
These Tupperware stains
Outlive every phase I fake
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m just
Made the same
Porous heart
Soaks up blame
Throw it out
Or keep it here?
[Band drops]
Same old box
Same old fear (hey!)
[Chorus]
Why won’t you let me go?
You cling to me like I’m your home
These Tupperware stains
Know all my mistakes
Hot water
Cold soul
But you still won’t fade
Oh
These Tupperware stains
Yeah
These Tupperware stains
Outlive every phase I fake
