Blue Tupperware

I found you in the drawer Blue Tupperware in sun Lid split on the corner Still smellin' like plum

Your sticker was half-gone Name wrote in my mom's hand Held three peach pits, one button And a note from second grade

And I laughed out loud At that old backyard fire Felt the whole damn house Lean in a little higher

Blue Tupperware, stay right there (Blue Tupperware) You hold the small things I forgot were there Blue Tupperware, stay right there (Blue Tupperware) A little blue box Full of nowhere and care

I set you by the sink Beside a chipped white cup Morning light on the plastic Made the whole room warm up

In the junk and the dust You were stubborn, small, and true Like a hand on my shoulder Saying, "I saved this for you"

And I laughed out loud At that old backyard fire Felt the whole damn house Lean in a little higher

Blue Tupperware, stay right there (Blue Tupperware) You hold the small things I forgot were there Blue Tupperware, stay right there (Blue Tupperware) A little blue box Full of nowhere and care

Now I'm back in the room With the fan and the creak Same cracked lid, same blue color Same old summer leak

Maybe that's all we are Little keepsakes in a row Put away in the corner Till somebody lets us glow

Blue Tupperware, stay right there (Blue Tupperware) You hold the small things I forgot were there Blue Tupperware, stay right there (Blue Tupperware) A little blue box Full of nowhere and care
