Keys On The Counter

[Verse 1]
Boxes in the hallway
Name on the buzzer with mine
You’re laughing at the dust on my trophies
I’m folding up the bachelor shrine
Sock drawer with your perfume
Mugs that don’t match on the sink
Your shoes by the door like you own it
And I love how fast that happened
I think
[Chorus]
Put your keys on the counter
Leave your doubts at the door
All the ghosts in my bedroom
Don’t live here anymore
Take my name
Take my space
Take the air that I breathe
I’ve been saving this heartbeat
For the day that you’d move in with me
[Verse 2]
Burnt toast in your wedding dress
Photos still pinned to the fridge
We argue ‘bout the bed by an inch
Yeah
Then kiss like we’re falling off a bridge
My hoodie on your shoulders
Ring light catching the paint
You call this mess a future
I call it proof I changed
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
I was all sharp corners
Calendar full
But the house always cold
You walked in with your cardboard boxes
Turned these walls into something we’d hold
[whispered vocals] Stay
When the rent’s past due
When I’m not that new
When the rush wears through
[crescendo]
I’ll still set one plate
Then lay down another
Still make this bed
Like we’re choosing each other
[Chorus]

metal, Hybrid progressive metal meets dark alt R&B. Down-tuned polymeter guitars lock with a lurching, syncopated kick; verses sit in a sultry half-time pocket with subby bass and moody keys under close, intimate male vocals. Chorus explodes into wide power chords, stacked harmonies, and aggressive drums; brief ambient guitar swells in the bridge before a final, crushing chorus., electric, alternative r&b, progressive metal
