Lyrics
[Verse 1] I keep your cup on the sink Like it might matter today One ring left on the drain Cold little moon of a stain The room leans in to listen To the fan in the hall I fold my hands in my lap And wait for nothing at all [Pre-Chorus] There’s a crack in the pane That holds the gray in place And every time i look out It looks back with your face [Chorus] Salt on glass Slow to fade Salt on glass Stuck in the shade I say your name Too low to catch Salt on glass And it stays like that [Verse 2] Your coat still hangs on the chair One sleeve turned inside out Dust on the seam of the cuff Where your thumb worked it down I pass the hall mirror And miss my own eyes Just a soft blurred shape In the corner of the light [Pre-Chorus] There’s a wire in my chest That hums when i stand still And every empty minute Drips through the windowsill [Chorus] Salt on glass Slow to fade Salt on glass Stuck in the shade I say your name Too low to catch Salt on glass And it stays like that [Bridge] If i open the drawer There’s the matchbook you left One black line in my palm That i never could set So i let it all sit In the smell of the rain Some things don’t leave clean Some things stay in the frame [Chorus] Salt on glass Slow to fade Salt on glass Stuck in the shade I say your name Too low to catch Salt on glass And it stays like that
