altar

Verse 1:

Fresh white flowers and a new tea light

Nine cups of water, still water

Soon I’ll see your face

Don’t know why I ever thought you were far away

I shouda known better

Pre-Chorus:

If I set a flame and I call your name

Ill fix you a plate, we can go to dinner

We can share a meal your way

and I’ll play you the songs that you used to play

Chorus:

So I put you on the altar,

Stay just a little bit longer (whoa)

Laid it out for ya

Thought I felt you before

Now you’re closer

Closer (whoa)

So I put you on the altar,

Stay just a little bit longer (whoa)

Laid it out for ya

Thought I felt you before

Now you’re closer

Closer (whoa, whoa)

Verse 2:

Holding on to things you told me

Holding on to dreams you showed me

Holding on to anything from you

That you’ve been leaving here

Now I believe I swear

I can smell your perfume

Picking up your signal like a phone booth

Keeping you alive and I do it cause I want to

Pre-Chorus:

If I set a flame and I call your name

Ill fix you a plate, we can go to dinner

We can share a meal your way

and I’ll play you the songs that you used to play

Chorus:

So I put you on the altar,

Stay just a little bit longer (whoa)

Laid it out for ya

Thought I felt you before

Now you’re closer

Closer (whoa)

So I put you on the altar,

Stay just a little bit longer (whoa)

Laid it out for ya

Thought I felt you before

Now you’re closer

Closer (whoa, whoa)
