Salt and Steel in the Dark

Verse 1

Copper pipe against the wall

Your palm's gone and your collar's still there

Bare feet on the tile floor and I'm still standing

Trying to count how many hours we didn't care

Pre-Chorus

Where do the edges go when we let it slip

Does it fold like a map back into place or get torn in the riptide

Tell me what you see when the light's gone

Is this the moment before the end of us again

Chorus

Salt and steel in the dark, still finding our way

We're not lost just because we can't stay

Salt and steel in the dark, your shadow is my line

This is how I find you, even when I lose the time

Verse 2

Your shirt's hung on a hook downstairs

I'm holding your keys with the same two hands

Your cologne on the pillowcase but it don't smell like you yet

Just a ghost that says we were here

Pre-Chorus

Where do the edges go when we let it slip

Does it fold like a map back into place or get torn in the riptide

Tell me what you see when the light's gone

Is this the moment before the end of us again

Chorus

Salt and steel in the dark, still finding our way

We're not lost just because we can't stay

Salt and steel in the dark, your shadow is my line

This is how I find you, even when I lose the time

Bridge

I've learned to follow the rust on a lock

To listen for the hum when the room stops talking

Every door that closes leaves behind a scar

And the map of where we were starts right there

Chorus

Salt and steel in the dark, still finding our way

We're not lost just because we can't stay

Salt and steel in the dark, your shadow is my line

This is how I find you, even when I lose the time
