Between The Pages

[Verse 1] I found the note you missed Under the fold Where the coffee stain Made a small gold circle The pen ran out On your last name line But the paper kept Your shape in mine [Pre-Chorus] And I thought the room Would learn to let you go But every little crease Still steals the show It’s not a ghost It’s not a scar It’s just the part of you That stayed in my heart [Chorus] Between the pages You come back home Between the pages I’m not alone You didn’t fade out You learned to stay Between the pages You found a way (Between the pages) [Verse 2] There’s a thumbprint mark On the corner bend Where you held that book Till the day grew thin And the corners curl Like they know your hands Like the whole soft world Still understands [Pre-Chorus] So I leave it open On the chair at night Let the paper breathe In the low lamp light If I read your name I don’t fall apart I just hear it knock At the edge of my heart [Chorus] Between the pages You come back home Between the pages I’m not alone You didn’t fade out You learned to stay Between the pages You found a way (Between the pages) [Bridge] Maybe time is kind In the quiet ways Turning pain to gold On the edges of the page If I turn it slow If I don’t look away I can feel you move In the words you made [Final Chorus] Between the pages You come back home Between the pages I’m not alone You didn’t fade out You learned to stay Between the pages You found a way (Between the pages) Between the pages Your lines still glow Between the pages I let you go Not all at once But close enough Between the pages You’re still in love (Between the pages)
