Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You were all sharp bones and summer
Cigarette laugh in the rain
Tracing halos on the window
Said you liked the way they stained
Black boots on the motel carpet
Shaking hands
But playing brave
You were dancing with the shadows
I was begging them to stay away
[Chorus]
You were halfway to heaven
When I found you in that room
Eyes rolled back like a crescent moon
I was screaming your name
But you floated right through
You were halfway to heaven
And I lost you too soon
[Verse 2]
Late calls from a busted payphone
I could hear it in your breath
Every promise like a matchstick
Burning shorter
Burning red
I held you through the cold December
You said
"Baby
I'll get clean"
But that needle wrote an ending
That I never thought you'd read
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] I still see you on the mattress
Skin like paper
Lips gone blue
All the saints stuck to the ceiling
Watching what I couldn't undo
[whispered vocals] I tried to pull you backward
From that bright and silent sea
But you slipped just like the sunlight
Through the spaces left in me
[Chorus]
