Stay Small

(Stay small)
The taxi clock dey count my heart
(Count my heart)
Your suitcase dey block the doorway
(The doorway)
Stay small, then stay for good

Twelve years of photos on the staircase
You dey pass them like you never smile there
The kettle wey you buy still dey whistle
I off the gas so we fit hear ourselves
You hold your ticket like a shield
I hold the door I should don fixed
The dog dey look us from the kitchen
Even him sabi say something break

Say the word, I go carry am down
Say the word, I go carry am down
The taxi fit go
The taxi fit go

Stay small
(Stay small)
The taxi clock dey count my heart
(Count my heart)
Your suitcase dey block the doorway
(The doorway)
Stay small, then stay for good

Mmm, stay small
(Stay small)
Mmm, stay small
(The doorway)
Stay small, then stay for good

You put the ring on the fridge magnet
Next to the shopping list I wrote
Bread, milk, and your favourite pepper
Ordinary things wey turn to stone
The driver press him horn one time
You look the window, not at me
Your mother name dey flash your phone
You let am ring until e tire

Rain start small on the windshield
The clock still dey count outside
You drop the suitcase by the staircase
You never talk, you never go
The kettle begin whistle for kitchen

Don't walk away
(Don't walk away)
The taxi clock dey count my heart
(Count my heart)
Your suitcase dey leave the doorway
(The doorway)
Stay small don turn to stay for good

Kettle dey whistle
Stay small
