Nothing But To Keep the Lid On

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

I got the kettle screaming on the stove

The whole room smells like something I forgot

Your jacket's hanging where it shouldn't be

I keep the lid on

Keep it shut

Pre-Chorus

You knock twice

I don't move

You knock louder

I stay cool

Chorus

Keep the lid on

Don't let it spill

Keep the lid on

Everything's still

Nothing boiling over tonight

Keep the lid on

Keep it tight

Post-Chorus

On and on

On and on

Keep the lid on

On and on

Verse 2

You say you're sorry in that careful tone

The kind you practice in the car alone

I'm counting tiles instead of counting sins

My hands are steady

So are my plans

Pre-Chorus

You lean in

I step back

You say my name

I don't crack

Chorus

Keep the lid on

Don't let it spill

Keep the lid on

Everything's still

Nothing boiling over tonight

Keep the lid on

Keep it tight

Post-Chorus

On and on

On and on

Keep the lid on

On and on

Bridge

I could scream I could slam I could walk

I could tell you every single thing you got wrong

But the quiet is a kind of a win

So I press it down and hold it in

Chorus

Keep the lid on

Don't let it spill

Keep the lid on

Everything's still

Nothing boiling over tonight

Keep the lid on

Keep it tight

Post-Chorus

On and on

On and on

Keep the lid on

On and on
