Lyric

Don't Wake the Apartment

Elsha Rinot

Shoes by the sink

Your coat on the chair

We talk in the dark

Like the walls got ears there

The floorboard knows

How your name feels on my tongue

If it wakes up now

We were never here, no

Stay in the hush

Hold it in your chest

Morning’s too close

And we both know best

Don’t wake the apartment

Don’t wake the apartment

Keep your hand on my wrist

Like a secret I can’t mention

Don’t wake the apartment

Don’t wake the apartment

If the room starts talking

We both disappear by dawn

The sink drips once

Then it goes still

Your breath hits my neck

Cold as a window sill

I laugh too low

You put two fingers to my lips

We’ve got thirty seconds

Before the silence breaks and slips

Stay in the hush

Hold it in your chest

Morning’s too close

And we both know best

Don’t wake the apartment

Don’t wake the apartment

Keep your hand on my wrist

Like a secret I can’t mention

Don’t wake the apartment

Don’t wake the apartment

If the room starts talking

We both disappear by dawn

The blinds are thin

The sky turns pale

We move like smoke

Past every little trail

One more breath

Then let it go

Leave no name

On the edge of the door

Don’t wake the apartment

Don’t wake the apartment

Keep your hand on my wrist

Like a secret I can’t mention

Don’t wake the apartment

Don’t wake the apartment

If the room starts talking

We both disappear by dawn
