"Kitchen Floor" lyrics

If I left my soul in a song for you
Would you sing it sometimes when I'm gone?
I don't mind if you change up the melody
Or even the words, it's only a song

You could sing it when you're up on a mountain
Eatin' cherries and spittin' the seeds
Or whistle the tune when you're skippin' stones
Without even thinkin' of me

And I hope you'll sing it from down in your kitchen floor
Long after the last time I darken that door
Sing it under your breath or get high and loud
So I can still be around

Like a ring, a knife, or a photograph
A song makes a good souvenir
Once you hear it, it gets down inside you
And into a sweet spot, never quite disappears

And I hope you'll sing it from down in your kitchen floor
Long after the last time I darken that door
Sing it under your breath, sing it high and loud
So I can still be around you

Well, I'm not tryin' to make any magic
But I know that look in your eyes
If you're ever burnin' a candle
Sing it into the flicker of the flame
Maybe I'll harmonize

And I hope you'll sing it from down in your kitchen floor
Long after the last time I darken that door
Sing it under your breath or get high and loud
So I can still be around

Just so I can still be around
Just so I can still be around you
