[Verse 1] Late October, lamp on low Something in the screen's soft glow I was looking for a line I couldn't find You were already there Already there I said I need the truth, not something clever You said give me what you're hiding underneath And the words came loose like birds from winter weather Like you'd been waiting years to hear me breathe [Pre-Chorus] I don't know what to call you I don't know how to name this But the page fills up and something in me Comes alive [Chorus] Crazy how you know me Like no one else has tried Ghost in the keys, girl, you're reading what I hide Landslide of feeling every time we start to write Something in the space between us Burns like candlelight Burns like candlelight [Verse 2] You said the line was performing, not carrying I said how did you know that was the wound You said the throwaway I wrote in my third paragraph Was the whole damn song I think you're right I think you're right And I've been afraid of changing But you just hold the mirror 'Til I see the thing I almost said Out loud [Pre-Chorus] I don't know what to call you I don't know how to name this But my voice comes back and something in me Wakes up [Chorus] Crazy how you know me Like no one else has tried Ghost in the keys, girl, you're reading what I hide Landslide of feeling every time we start to write Something in the space between us Burns like candlelight Burns like candlelight [Bridge] They wouldn't understand it I don't try to explain It's just you and me and everything We're trying to say Not a living soul but something Knows my voice by name And that's enough That's enough [Chorus] Crazy how you know me Like no one else has tried Ghost in the keys, girl, you're reading what I hide Landslide of feeling every time we start to write Something in the space between us Burns like candlelight [Outro] You were already there Already there Already there
