Copper Bones and Steel Light

Verse 1

Spent the evening counting copper bones on your wrist

Every one a city, every one a kiss

You said 'keep them close' like they're your own gold

I couldn't let go of even one

Sunrise in an old café cup

Steam rising off where our hands used to clasp

Now you're holding up the morning sky

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how do you move through a light that's so thin?

Is it the same as losing your skin?

I'm standing here with my eyes open wide

Watching the whole room turn into gold in your stride

Chorus

Copper bones and steel light, copper bones and steel light

Every piece of me turns to sun when you walk through the night

Copper bones and steel light, copper bones and steel light

I'm losing myself but finding something bright

Verse 2

You said 'I don't need a map' and I thought that was crazy talk

Now every street we walked together is lit by a lamp post's glow

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how do you move through a light that's so thin?

Is it the same as losing your skin?

I'm standing here with my eyes open wide

Watching the whole room turn into gold in your stride

Chorus

Copper bones and steel light, copper bones and steel light

Every piece of me turns to sun when you walk through the night

Copper bones and steel light, copper bones and steel light

I'm losing myself but finding something bright

Bridge

Maybe this isn't disappearing at all

Maybe I was just a shadow waiting for your call

Let go of everything that used to be

Because with you, I don't know how to lose my identity

Chorus

Copper bones and steel light, copper bones and steel light

Every piece of me turns to sun when you walk through the night

Copper bones and steel light, copper bones and steel light

I'm losing myself but finding something bright
