Turning Pages Next to You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave a paper cup beside the lamp A folded corner marks the chapter where you stopped The library clock is running five minutes fast But you and I don't need to check the past [Pre-Chorus] You tell me every ending has a door I say I want to read a little more [Chorus] Bookworm, keep your finger on the page Tell me what you found beneath the ink and age Bookworm, when the quiet fills the room I’ll be right here turning pages next to you [Verse 2] Rain taps softly on the window glass You underline a sentence, then you let it pass The old blue chair gives one familiar creak You smile before the words arrive at your cheek [Pre-Chorus] Some stories take a lifetime to unfold Some are better when they’re quietly told [Chorus] Bookworm, keep your finger on the page Tell me what you found beneath the ink and age Bookworm, when the quiet fills the room I’ll be right here turning pages next to you [Bridge] If the lights go out, we’ll use the hallway sun If the chapter closes, we’ll begin another one No need to rush the final line tonight Your voice makes every borrowed world feel right [Final Chorus] Bookworm, keep your finger on the page Tell me what you found beneath the ink and age Bookworm, when the quiet fills the room I’ll be right here turning pages next to you Bookworm, let the afternoon move slow There are still a thousand places left to go Bookworm, when the quiet fills the room I’ll be right here turning pages next to you [Outro] Turning pages next to you Turning pages next to you
