[Intro] (distant hum) [Verse 1] You left the coffee on the counter two days ago and I haven't moved it still sitting there getting a skin like it's keeping a schedule you abandoned your shoes by the door are a pair minus the feet that left them arranged I keep thinking you'll come back for something small enough to forget on purpose [Pre-Chorus] And the hours lean in and the hours lean in close (ooh) [Chorus] These are small exits not doors not goodbyes just the soft accumulation of a person learning to leave through accumulated absence through accumulated absence [Verse 2] Your voice on the answering machine sounds like someone I used to rehearse with I play it back at quarter speed trying to hear where you started to go the mirror still holds your toothbrush like a museum piece from a life that was maybe never quite ours maybe always just on loan [Pre-Chorus] And the hours lean in and the hours lean in close (ooh) [Chorus] These are small exits not doors not goodbyes just the soft accumulation of a person learning to leave through accumulated absence through accumulated absence [Bridge] I could name the day I could circle the hour but it wasn't a moment it was a temperature dropping one degree at a time until I stopped noticing the cold (until I stopped) [Chorus] These are small exits not doors not goodbyes just the soft accumulation of a person learning to leave through accumulated absence (through accumulated absence) (through accumulated absence) [Outro] small exits small exits the coffee's still there (fade)
