Lyrics
[Verse 1] Your cup by the sink Still holding the rain I trace the wood grain And say your name The room keeps your shape In the dim afternoon A line on the curtain A half-smile in bloom [Pre-Chorus] I reach for the sound Of your footsteps on stone But the hall stays hollow And I’m left alone [Chorus] Come back to me slow Come back to me slow Paper lanterns glow Where your hands used to go I still feel the thread I still feel it glow Come back to me slow Come back to me slow [Verse 2] Your scarf on the chair Still smells like the fields The kettle is quiet The hour barely yields I hum to the window Like you’re near enough And the ache in my chest Turns soft under touch [Pre-Chorus] If I keep one small light By the edge of the dark Maybe memory stays Maybe heals the mark [Chorus] Come back to me slow Come back to me slow Paper lanterns glow Where your hands used to go I still feel the thread I still feel it glow Come back to me slow Come back to me slow [Bridge] And if you can’t stay Let your shadow stay kind Let it rest on my sleeve Let it quiet my mind I’ll keep the last note Like a door held ajar Till the evening remembers Who you are [Final Chorus] Come back to me slow Come back to me slow Paper lanterns glow Where your hands used to go I still feel the thread I still feel it glow Come back to me slow Come back to me slow
