Just a Sliver

Male Voice, strong, backup, vocals, uplifting, emotional, heartfelt

(Verse 1)
This coffee's gettin' cold again, just like the other side of the bed
Your toothbrush is still in the cup, right where you left it, it's been said
I caught your perfume on my shirt, the one you used to wear to sleep
I held it close and closed my eyes, a promise that I couldn't keep
The silence here is deafening, it's louder than a midnight train
Just rattlin' through these empty rooms, and washin' over all the pain

(Chorus)
Just a sliver of your touch
A tiny piece of your time
A little taste of the love
That used to blow my mind
I'm not askin' for forever, I know that bridge is burned in fire
I'm just starvin' here in this emptiness, and I'd kill for just a sliver

(Verse 2)
I saw a couple at the market, she was laughin' at somethin' he said
He put his hand upon her back, a gentle gesture, nothin' said
It hit me like a two-by-four, a memory I couldn't shake
Of Sunday drives and stolen fries and the way you'd kiss a headache
Now I'm just a ghost in this old town, goin' through a movin' wall
Waitin' for a piece of you, just to keep me from a fall

(Bridge)
I know that pride's a stubborn thing, I shoulda held on tighter then
But I'd trade every step I've taken since, to have you back again
I don't need the sun to shine on me, don't need the moon to glow
Just a flicker from the fire we had, before the wind began to blow
Just a glimmer in the dark… God, I miss those eyes.

(Guitar solo - emotional and melodic, bending notes, building on the bridge's sentiment)

(Chorus - with more passion, ad-libs in parentheses)
(Yeah…) Just a sliver of your touch (just a little bit, girl)
A tiny piece of your time (just a little bit)
A little taste of the love (one more time)
That used to blow my mind
I'm not askin' for forever (I know), I know that bridge is burned in fire
I'm just starvin' here in this emptiness, and I'd kill for just a sliver

(Outro)
(Just a sliver…)
(Just a little bit…)
(Fade with slow picking guitar)

Yeah… just a sliver. That's all.

Yeah… house sure feels big when it's just you. Funny, ain't it? How a place that held so much… can feel so empty. I ain't lookin' for much. I know better than that. I ain't askin' for the world to turn back. Hell, I ain't even askin' for the whole pie. Just… a little piece. Just a sliver.
