altar

Fresh white flowers and a new tea light

Nine cups of water, still water

Soon, I'll see your face

Don't know why I ever thought you were far away

I shoulda known better

If I set a flame and I call your name

I'll fix you a plate, we can go to dinner

We can share a meal your way

And I'll play you the songs that you used to play

So I put you on the altar

Stay just a little bit longer (Whoa)

Laid it out for ya

Thought I felt you before

Now you're closer

Closer (Whoa)

So I put you on the altar

Stay just a little bit longer (Whoa)

Laid it out for ya

Thought I felt you before

Now you're closer

Closer (Whoa, whoa)

Holding on to things you told me

Holding on to dreams you showed me

Holding on to anything from you

That you've been leaving here

Now I believe, I swear

I can smell your perfume

Picking up your signal like a phone booth

Keeping you alive and I do it 'cause I want to

If I set a flame and I call your name

I'll fix you a plate, we can go to dinner

We can share a meal your way

And I'll play you the songs that you used to play

So I put you on the altar

Stay just a little bit longer (Whoa)

Laid it out for ya

Thought I felt you before

Now you're closer

Closer (Whoa)

So I put you on the altar

Stay just a little bit longer (Whoa)

Laid it out for ya

Thought I felt you before

Now you're closer

Closer (Whoa, whoa)

(Closer)
