Paper Ghosts

[Intro]
[Verse]
Golden hour through the oak
Fading like a velvet smoke
Found a note upon the seat
Crumpled edges, bittersweet
Half-an-apple on the ground
The only treasure to be found
[Chorus]
Bread and milk and honey tea
Written down for me to see
Tracing every pencil line
Wishing that your hand was mine
Just a ghost inside a store
Always wanting something more
[Verse]
Cherry gloss upon the edge
Resting on a garden ledge
Eggs and flour, maybe cake
For a heart about to break?
Warped and worn by autumn rain
Softly sharing all your pain
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep them in my pocket deep
Secrets that I mean to keep
Small desires, scrawled in blue
A little piece of lonely you
[Chorus]
Bread and milk and honey tea
Written down for me to see
Tracing every pencil line
Wishing that your hand was mine
Just a ghost inside a store
Always wanting something more
[Bridge]
The celesta rings so clear
Bringing every stranger near
Warped tapes spinning in my head
Everything they never said
Receipts flying in the breeze
Falling with the dying leaves
[Verse]
One says "don't forget the wine"
Underneath a dotted line
Someone's name is crossed out twice
Frozen peas and bags of ice
I can feel the grocery aisle
See the shadow of your smile
Just a list of things to buy
Underneath an autumn sky
[Chorus]
Bread and milk and honey tea
Written down for me to see
Tracing every pencil line
Wishing that your hand was mine
Just a ghost inside a store
Always wanting something more
[Post-Chorus]
Paper ghosts and autumn light
Keeping me awake tonight
Bread and milk and honey tea
Written down for me to see
[Outro]
