You lean on my shoulder Like you’re testing the rain Ask what I’m thinking Then drift off again Your name on my tongue Tastes sweet Then it fades Like writing in water I watch it erase You’re love I can’t hold in my hands Slipping through my fingers like sand Every time I think that I know You turn into light I’m reaching for smoke I’m reaching for smoke We talk until sunrise About everything else Your laugh fills the kitchen My heart empties out You trace constellations On my bare wrist and palm But when I reach back You’re already gone You’re love I can’t hold in my hands Slipping through my fingers like sand Every time I think that I know You turn into light I’m reaching for smoke I’m reaching for smoke Do you feel it too Or is it just me Catching your shadows On these empty sheets If I say the word Will you stay Will you choke Or vanish again I’m reaching for smoke You’re love I can’t hold in my hands Slipping through my fingers like sand Every time I think that I know You turn into light I’m reaching for smoke I’m reaching for smoke
