Her Velvet Voice

[Verse 1]
In the cracking cold your velvet voice ventures from your lips
Stiffly walking words, they seem to hang here
You place each phrase like puzzle pieces:
Planned, precise, and perfect
You play me like a piano or a pastime

[Chorus 1]
I could be your voice of reason
You can be impossible

[Verse 2]
I'm hanging like a spider in suspended time and space
Your thoughts are all I need to keep me breathing
Dig your feet in deeper plant your heels into the ground
If you could grow roots down you'd be a tree now

[Chorus 1]
I could be your voice of reason
You can be impossible

[Chorus 2]
But sunshine you shone, sunshine you've grown
I'm just a shadow when you're not here to shine
Sunshine you shone, sunshine you've grown
I'm just a shadow when you're not here to shine
Here to shine

[Verse 2]
Frozen fingers fold inside the pocket of my jeans
But tighter is the grip you have upon me
Clasping, clenching, clinging on
I'm tailor made to act upon this urge to keep you for myself forever

[Chorus 1]
I could be your voice of reason
You can be impossible

[Chorus 2]
But sunshine you shone, sunshine you've grown
I'm just a shadow when you're not here to shine
Sunshine you shone, sunshine you've grown
I'm just a shadow when you're not here to shine
Here to shine

[Bridge]
The man you fell for fell apart
He let his demons out of the dark
The man you fell for fell apart
He let his demons out of the dark
The dark

[Chorus 1]
I could be your voice of reason
You can be impossible

[Chorus 2]
But sunshine you shone, sunshine you've grown
I'm just a shadow when you're not here to shine
Sunshine you shone, sunshine you've grown
I'm just a shadow when you're not here to shine
Here to shine

[Outro]
Let me hear your voice, my one and only
Let me see your face
Our love: like breathing
Carry me away, I'm yours completely
Hide me in your arms, I don't deserve it
Let me hear your voice
Let me see your face
Carry me away, I'm yours completely
Carry me away, carry me away
Let me hear your voice
