[Verse 1]
Found your name in the margin line
Adaline, you were mine, mine, mine
Old hardback with the torn-up spine
Every page like a dare in time
You said "stay"
Now I can't leave
Ink on my hands
And a bruise in my sleeve
Your perfume trapped in the paper grain
I read your hurt like a prayer in rain
Black ribbon tied to the inside back
I swear that book been calling me back
[Pre-Chorus]
Turn one page, I feel you
Turn two pages, I bleed through
Your ghost got a soft spot
And my heart got a weak fuse
[Chorus]
Adaline, you haunt me
Adaline, you want me
Folded in the dark
Right where your secrets haunt me
Adaline, you haunt me
Adaline, you want me
Say my name again
Let the whole house watch me
[Verse 2]
First kiss hit like a locked door
Second kiss had me craving more
Every chapter got a deeper cut
Every line got my chest stitched up
You were sweet with a sharp-edged grin
Like a red rose pinned to my skin
Now I hear you when the room goes still
In the crack of the floor, in the window sill
That book on the shelf, it don't sit right
Keeps opening up when I turn off the light
And your last note folded up inside
Said "if you come back, don't ask why"
[Pre-Chorus]
Turn one page, I feel you
Turn two pages, I bleed through
Your ghost got a soft spot
And my heart got a weak fuse
[Chorus]
Adaline, you haunt me
Adaline, you want me
Folded in the dark
Right where your secrets haunt me
Adaline, you haunt me
Adaline, you want me
Say my name again
Let the whole house watch me
[Bridge]
If love is a curse, then I took it
If you are the bruise, then I chose it
Book in my lap and the night won’t quit
Every torn-out page got your fingerprint
Close the cover, I still hear you call
Cross my heart, I been under your spell
If I burn this thing, will you leave me alone?
Or will you live in the ash and the smoke?
[Chorus]
Adaline, you haunt me
Adaline, you want me
Folded in the dark
Right where your secrets haunt me
Adaline, you haunt me
Adaline, you want me
Say my name again
Let the whole house watch me
