[Verse 1] The hallway keeps a second set of keys Though every door was taken off last week I hear the pipes rehearse my old excuse The house has learned which parts of me to use [Pre-Chorus] I draw a line in chalk across the floor By morning there are footprints on both sides [Chorus] I keep my edges in a paper cup They soften when the weather turns I say, this part is mine, this part is yours Then watch the labels blur I keep my edges in a paper cup And carry them around The lid comes loose, the pieces spill And neither makes a sound [Verse 2] A little static lives behind my teeth It tunes the things I almost mean to say The mirror sends my face a late reply As if it had a separate life to try [Pre-Chorus] I draw a line in chalk across the floor By morning there are footprints on both sides [Chorus] I keep my edges in a paper cup They soften when the weather turns I say, this part is mine, this part is yours Then watch the labels blur I keep my edges in a paper cup And carry them around The lid comes loose, the pieces spill And neither makes a sound [Bridge] Maybe the seam was only drawn in pencil Maybe the wall was holding up the frame I found a little window in the kettle It showed the kitchen wearing my old name [Chorus] I keep my edges in a paper cup They soften when the weather turns I say, this part is mine, this part is yours Then watch the labels blur I keep my edges in a paper cup And carry them around The lid comes loose, the pieces spill And neither makes a sound [Outro] At dawn the cup is empty The table has a shadow I leave it there
