Warm Flicker 2 (версия 2)

Verse 1

Lamp glows orange on the page

Fingers move slow through lines I've read before

Candle smoke curls up and sways with the hum of the heater in the wall

Blank pages wait for a line to fall

Pre-Chorus

And maybe here's where I finally say something true

Maybe this is what my whole day was waiting for you

Let it start here, let it stay

Where do we go from here? Maybe right away

Chorus

Warm flicker on the paper skin

Barefoot on the floor and in

Every word that feels like I've been trying to say

Here's where this story starts today

Light comes up behind my eyes

Warm flicker on the paper skin

I can finally write it out, let it spin

Verse 2

Pencil scrapes across the top edge of a page

Dust rises soft from an old record sleeve

Coffee cups on the counter gather steam and light

I fold the collar up so my neck stays warm tonight

Ink flows slow across the white

Each mark feels like I'm finding my way to speak

Pre-Chorus

And maybe here's where I finally say something true

Maybe this is what my whole day was waiting for you

Let it start here, let it stay

Where do we go from here? Maybe right away

Chorus

Warm flicker on the paper skin

Barefoot on the floor and in

Every word that feels like I've been trying to say

Here's where this story starts today

Light comes up behind my eyes

Warm flicker on the paper skin

I can finally write it out, let it spin

Bridge

No more waiting for the morning light

No more keeping quiet through the night

This is where I start to speak my mind

And nothing else matters right now but this line

Chorus

Warm flicker on the paper skin

Barefoot on the floor and in

Every word that feels like I've been trying to say

Here's where this story starts today

Light comes up behind my eyes

Warm flicker on the paper skin

I can finally write it out, let it spin

Outro

Now the page is full of what was waiting there

Flicker fades but I know that it stays
