Lyrics

Six-forty rings and the kettle's cold
I water ferns that you used to hold
The blinds still lift on your old cue
A house on autopilot, aching to be true
Should I let the timer die
Or keep it faithful, keep it shy
Every ping's a little vow
I don't know how to disavow
I kept the six-forty going
Wick barely lit, quietly glowing
I became the ache that lingers
Watering ghosts with borrowed fingers
Tuesdays swear you'll trim the leaves
Thursdays think you're still in sleeves
Of the garden gloves by the door
A schedule too stubborn to fold
Then the sensor found the soil bone-dry
No hand left to answer why
The routine's past its time to live
But I won't let the quorum quit
I'll keep the six-forty ringing
Even with no leaves worth singing
I chose to be the ache that lingers
Faithful now on empty fingers
Six-forty, still counting
Still yours, still true
