[Verse 1]
I keep your name
On my tongue like rain
You smile at me
Then turn and walk away
I learn your laugh
Like a song in a locked room
And every day
I lose you in the noon
[Pre-Chorus]
I know your hand
Knows someone else’s home
Still when you lean
I feel it in my bones
You are so near
That it hurts to breathe
I hold the line
And let you leave
[Chorus]
I want you still
I want you still
Even now, even here
I want you still
I want you still
Though I never get you near
(museum glass)
(you stay behind)
[Verse 2]
Your coffee cup
Left a ring on the desk
Your jacket sleeve
Fell soft against my chest
You said my heart
Looks like a place you’d keep
Then you laughed it off
Like it was nothing deep
[Pre-Chorus]
I know the truth
Lives in the words we save
I wear your almost
Like a wedding ring of weight
If I could choose
I’d stay in the ache
But wanting you
Is a kind of fate
[Chorus]
I want you still
I want you still
Even now, even here
I want you still
I want you still
Though I never get you near
(museum glass)
(you stay behind)
[Bridge]
Let me be close
In the only way I can
A held-back storm
A light inside your plans
If love is a door
Then I stand outside
Not to break it down
Just to wait beside
[Final Chorus]
I want you still
I want you still
Even now, even here
I want you still
I want you still
Though I never get you near
(museum glass)
(you stay behind)
I love you still
I love you still
And I always will
