Faded Blue Cotton

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dusty shelf in the back
Found a ghost in the stack
Cotton soft and faded blue
Smelling faintly just like you
Hidden under winter coats
Like those folded paper notes
[Pre-Chorus]
Static on the radio
Voices soft and very low
I should throw this thing away
But I think I'll let it stay
[Chorus]
Oversized and heavy sleeves
Like the way the summer leaves
I am hiding in the thread
All the things I never said
It's a quiet kind of ache
One I’m happy just to take
[Post-Chorus]
(Mumbled)
Just a shadow on the wall
Waitin' for your ghost to call
[Break]
[Verse]
Coffee stains near the cuff
Guess I didn't have enough
Of the way you used to laugh
Tearing every dream in half
Now the rain is on the glass
Watching all the hours pass
[Hook]
Soft blue
Just you
Old view
Still true
[Chorus]
Oversized and heavy sleeves
Like the way the summer leaves
I am hiding in the thread
All the things I never said
It's a quiet kind of ache
One I’m happy just to take
[Bridge]
Toy keys clicking in the dark
Wishing for a tiny spark
Tape is hissing in the machine
Living in a hazy scene
I don't need the world to know
Where the lonely feelings go
[Verse]
Pull the hood over my eyes
Underneath the velvet skies
Close-mic whispers in the air
Like you’re sitting over there
Nylon strings begin to fray
As the memories drift away
[Chorus]
Oversized and heavy sleeves
Like the way the summer leaves
I am hiding in the thread
All the things I never said
It's a quiet kind of ache
One I’m happy just to take
[Post-Chorus]
(Mumbled)
Just a shadow on the wall
Waitin' for your ghost to call
(Fading)
Faded blue
Faded blue
[Outro]
