[Verse 1] You left your coat by the door Still hanging in my head Your boots on the tile Your name in every thread I found a hairpin in the sink A small gold crooked star Now every room you touched Feels bigger than it are [Pre-Chorus] And I count the cracks in the ceiling Like they might spell out your name If time is just a hallway Why does it feel the same? [Chorus] Hold me in eternity Hold me where the hours stop Hold me in eternity Till the last bird drops Hold me in eternity When the world goes thin and white Hold me in eternity Say my name and stay tonight [Verse 2] The kettle clicks at noon The chair still leans your way A spoon left in the sink Like you might come back today I wear the ache like lace It fits me all too well And every little silence Tells the story you won’t tell [Pre-Chorus] And I count the cracks in the ceiling Like they might spell out your name If time is just a hallway Why does it feel the same? [Chorus] Hold me in eternity Hold me where the hours stop Hold me in eternity Till the last bird drops Hold me in eternity When the world goes thin and white Hold me in eternity Say my name and stay tonight [Bridge] If forever has a doorway I’m standing in the line With both hands full of wanting And your shadow still in mine One more breath One more sign If love is built from seconds Then make them all mine [Final Chorus] Hold me in eternity Hold me where the hours stop Hold me in eternity Till the last bird drops Hold me in eternity When the world goes thin and white Hold me in eternity Say my name and stay tonight
