Altar
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 should've known better
If I set a flame and I call your name
I'll 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
So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
Laid it out for ya', thought I felt you before
Now you're closer, closer, woah
So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
Laid it out for ya', thought I felt you before
Now you're closer, closer, woah, woah
Holdin' on to things you told me
Holdin' on to dreams you showed me
Holdin' 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
If I set a flame and I call your name
I'll 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
So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
Laid it out for ya', thought I felt you before
Now you're closer, closer, woah (Now you're closer)
So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
Laid it out for ya', thought I felt you before
Now you're closer, closer, woah, woah (Closer)
