Lyrics
The spare key to Maeve's place felt like ice in my jeans
That whole damn winter of '18, playing out all the scenes
I’d map the demolition, every joist and every nail
The hiss of the flat-top bleedin' through the drywall like a wail.
[Chorus]
And I had the words all framed up right

Just a spare key speech in the furnace light
That I thank God I never had to read.
[Verse 2]
You were burning the pans and I was rinsing the well
Both of us caught in the same kind of beautiful hell

That I thank God I never had to read.
[Bridge]
I'd drive east 'til the Monongahela was a line in the glass
Just a ghost on the engine, pressing the gas.
But you walked in that morning, smelling of rain and the train
And threw your keys on the counter, again.
[Outro]
Just a spare key speech...
That I never had to read.
