[Verse 1] Your note is heavy in my hand Crisp paper, final lines Flick the lighter, hold the spark Trace the edges of your crime One small pull and the room spins slow Watch the cherry turn to gold Smoke is curling through the dark Like a secret never told [Pre-Chorus] And I swear I was gone I was over the edge But your name on my tongue Is a habit in my head [Chorus] In the light, in the light, in the light of this flame Touch the paper, watch it slide, call my name A pillar of red as it burns to the edge I breathe and I’m here again (In the light, in the light, in the light) (In the velvet smoke) (I breathe and I’m here again) [Verse 2] Your jacket’s frozen in the hall Bleached denim, rain and pine Your picture’s glossy on the glass Frozen in a better time Gray ash falling on your face Silencing the things you said If I burn this whole thing down Are you happier instead? [Pre-Chorus] And I swear I was gone I was over the edge But your name on my tongue Is a habit in my head [Chorus] In the light, in the light, in the light of this flame Touch the paper, watch it slide, call my name A pillar of red as it burns to the edge I breathe and I’m here again (In the light, in the light, in the light) (In the velvet smoke) (I breathe and I’m here again) [Bridge] If I let it burn out... (pause) Would you leave me alone? If I scatter the pieces... (pause) Would I still feel your ghost? One more hit for the ghost... (pause) Drop the ash on the floor... (pause) I destroy you in theory... (pause) Then I look for you more. [Final Chorus] In the light, in the light, in the light of this flame Touch the paper, watch it slide, call my name A pillar of red as it burns to the edge I breathe and I’m here again (In the light, in the light, in the light) (In the velvet smoke) (I breathe and I’m here again)
