Ache in my spine like it used to be (version 2)

Intro

Sweat on my collarbone

Verse 1 – male vocal

Steam rising off the pavement, a haze of smoke in the air

Your fingers find the dip between my ribs and shoulders there

Floor's humming slow, but I feel it in my teeth

The ache we brought to bed with us, still waking me up at three

Pre-Chorus

Don't talk now, don't look back

Just keep your hand on my neck

This is all that the night lets go of

So hold on, and let's just drift some more

Chorus

Ache in my spine like it used to be

Heavy as a weight under the floor, you find me where I need to be

Every drop I lose lands right back on your skin

I don't need nothing else when this is what we give

Verse 2 – male vocal

Copper sun just rising slow behind the blinds

Your breath keeps time with my own heartbeat in the dark

The lights come up, but I'm still holding on tight to your hand

Like every goodbye is written on your palm and never planned

Pre-Chorus

Don't talk now, don't look back

Just keep your hand on my neck

This is all that the night lets go of

So hold on, and let's just drift some more

Chorus

Ache in my spine like it used to be

Heavy as a weight under the floor, you find me where I need to be

Every drop I lose lands right back on your skin

I don't need nothing else when this is what we give

Bridge – female vocal

No rush, no sound, just the hum in our bones

Let it all settle here before it's over and gone

Breathe it in slow with me, through every single vein

Hold this a little longer than goodbyes usually can

Chorus

Ache in my spine like it used to be

Heavy as a weight under the floor, you find me where I need to be

Every drop I lose lands right back on your skin

I don't need nothing else when this is what we give

Outro – male and female vocal together

Hold on just a little longer, hold on...

Ache in my spine like it used to be
