Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You chose the lowest ceiling
Concrete dust and Christmas light
Boxes labeled every season
All the years we stacked just right
Your boots beside the washing machine
Laces loose
Still tied to you
I touched the cord
Then pulled my hand back
Like it might remember too
[Chorus]
Basement February
Breath turns to glass in the air
Every nail
Every beam
Still expects you there
I talk to the pipes
Till my own voice scares me
Winter will leave
But this room
Stays February
[Verse 2]
We used to hide from family parties
Counting socks along the line
You’d paint stars on muddy rafters
Call it our crooked sky
Now the bulbs hum sharp and lonely
Shadows hang where you let go
I fold your sweater into nothing
Till the stitches start to show
[Chorus]
Basement February
Breath turns to glass in the air
Every nail
Every beam
Still expects you there
I talk to the pipes
Till my own voice scares me
Winter will leave
But this room
Stays February
[Bridge]
They say “spring comes
You’ll feel lighter”
Like it’s weather
Like it’s rain
But the house keeps your handwriting
In every margin of my days
Your mug by the sink
That chipped blue rim
Your hair in the brush
Your name on the bills
I walk upstairs
But the floor dips down
To where the dark stays still
[Chorus]
Basement February
Breath turns to glass in the air
Every nail
Every beam
Still expects you there
I talk to the pipes
Till my own voice scares me
Winter will leave
But this heart
Holds February
[Outro]
One bare bulb
Swinging slowly
Dust like snow
Falling over me
I lock the door
And whisper
Barely
You took the rope
And left
February
