Glass Honey

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I keep your name in a jar On the top shelf Next to the burnt-orange scarf And the cracked blue shell You left your tea ring On my dented plate Now I trace that circle Like a lucky gate [Pre-Chorus] If I lean in slow Will it break? If I say it loud Will it wake? My tongue tastes sugar My hands taste rain I keep folding back To the same shape [Chorus] Glass honey Glass honey Sweet on my mouth Glass honey Glass honey Pull me down, pull me down [Verse 2] I wore your silence Like a borrowed ring Walked past the laundromat Past the snap of strings The old fan turning In the corner room Kept writing circles In the dusk and gloom I tried to rinse you Off my skin But the stain went deep And the night walked in [Pre-Chorus] If I lean in slow Will it break? If I say it loud Will it wake? My tongue tastes sugar My hands taste rain I keep folding back To the same shape [Chorus] Glass honey Glass honey Sweet on my mouth Glass honey Glass honey Pull me down, pull me down [Bridge] I heard your laugh In a bent tin spoon Saw my face split In the washing moon Now I hold my breath Till the room goes thin Then I let that sweet Little ache back in [Final Chorus] Glass honey Glass honey Sweet on my mouth Glass honey Glass honey Pull me down, pull me down Glass honey Glass honey I’m yours again now
