Lace on the shoulder blade 2 (Version 2)

Verse 1

Lace on the shoulder blade where your sweat went thin

Your collarbone was a map I learned to read in

Candlelit kitchen and the hum of the fridge

Every little thing you didn't say felt loud enough

Pre-Chorus

And maybe this is all just one long goodbye

Maybe it's how we measure the years that fly by

You're still gone but your fingers leave a glow on me

Chorus

Lace on the shoulder blade

I'm still reading what you left behind

Fading light and a pulse that won't slow down

Every little thing I didn't let go of

Verse 2

Your coffee mug on my kitchen counter now

The sugar spoon's been through your hands, somehow

Your favorite record playing in the dark

Every memory is trying to find its spark

Pre-Chorus

And maybe this is all just one long goodbye

Maybe it's how we measure the years that fly by

You're still gone but your fingers leave a glow on me

Chorus

Lace on the shoulder blade

I'm still reading what you left behind

Fading light and a pulse that won't slow down

Every little thing I didn't let go of

Bridge

Maybe losing you was just the start

Maybe now's where your ghost takes its part in my heart

Not a shadow, not a space to fill

Just a map with your name still on it

Chorus

Lace on the shoulder blade

I'm still reading what you left behind

Fading light and a pulse that won't slow down

Every little thing I didn't let go of
