[Intro] I kept your letter salt in my pocket left over from the rain I read it once then folded the hurt small and wore it anyway [Verse 1] Your name in my coat like a lit match burning through the lining The train shook hard I watched your face in the window behind me Two hands on the rail one on the past trying not to grab it You said come close then vanished fast like a vow in the static [Pre-Chorus] And I still turn when I hear that door I still lean in like before Tell me where to put all this wanting Tell me where to put the bruise [Chorus] Salt in my pocket salt in my hand You left me the ocean I kept the tide Salt in my pocket salt in my palm I taste you still when I breathe tonight [Verse 2] Your ring mark faded on the sink edge white like a winter circle I made tea for two out of habit and drank the second cup alone The room went soft with your old laugh from the crack in the floorboards I locked the drawer but not my heart so it keeps on knocking [Pre-Chorus] And I still turn when I hear that door I still lean in like before Tell me where to put all this wanting Tell me where to put the bruise [Chorus] Salt in my pocket salt in my hand You left me the ocean I kept the tide Salt in my pocket salt in my palm I taste you still when I breathe tonight [Bridge] If you come back come back plain with your cracked-up truth and your honest hands No pretty speech no borrowed fire just stand right there and watch me tremble [Chorus] Salt in my pocket salt in my eyes You left me the ocean I kept the tide Salt in my pocket salt in my heart I taste you still when I breathe tonight
