altar

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, whoa
 Laid it out for ya, thought I felt you before
 But 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
 But now you'rе closer, closer, whoa, whoa
 Holdin' on to things you told me
 Holdin' on to drеams 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 phonebooth
 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, whoa
 Laid it out for ya, thought I felt you before
 But now you're closer, closer, whoa (now you're closer)
 So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, whoa
 Laid it out for ya, thought I felt you before
 But now you're closer, closer, whoa, whoa (closer)
