Fresh white flowers and a new tea light
Nine cups of water, still water
Soon I'll see your face
Don't know why I ever thought you were far away
I shoulda known better
If I set a flame and I call your name
I'll fix you a plate, we can go to dinner
We can share a meal your way
And I'll play you the songs that you used to play
So I put you on the altar
Stay just a little bit longer, whoa
Laid it out for ya
Thought I felt you before
But now you're closer
Closer, whoa
So I put you on the altar
Stay just a little bit longer, whoa
Laid it out for ya
Thought I felt you before
But now you're closer
Closer, whoa, whoa
Holding on to things you told me
Holding on to dreams you showed me
Holding on to anything from you
That you've been leaving here
Now I believe I swear
I can smell your perfume
Picking up your signal like a phone booth
Keeping you alive and I do it 'cause I want to
If I set a flame and I call your name
I'll fix you a plate, we can go to dinner
We can share a meal your way
And I'll play you the songs that you used to play
So I put you on the altar
Stay just a little bit longer, whoa
Laid it out for ya
Thought I felt you before
But now you're closer
Closer, whoa
So I put you on the altar
Stay just a little bit longer, whoa
Laid it out for ya
Thought I felt you before
But now you're closer (now you're closer)
Closer, whoa, whoa (closer)
