​altar
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
Laid it out for ya, thought I felt you before
Now you're closer
Closer, woah
So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
Laid it out for ya, thought I felt you before
Now you're closеr
Closer, woah, woah

[Verse 2]
Holdin' on to things you told me
Holdin' on to dreams you showеd me
Holdin' on to anything from you
That you've been leavin' here
Now I believe, I swear
I can smell your perfume
Pickin' up your signal like a phonebooth
Keepin' you alive and I do it 'cause I want to
[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
Laid it out for ya, thought I felt you before
But now you're closer (Closer)
Closer, woah (Now you're closer)
So I put you on the altar, stay just a little bit longer, woah
Laid it out for ya, thought I felt you before
But now you're closer (Closer)
Closer, woah, woah (Closer)
