I found the old ticket stubs in the pocket of my coat
And suddenly I'm back there with every word you wrote
Your hand on my knee in the quiet of the drive
Just one look from you brings this empty room alive
The shadows are dancing right across the wooden floor
I can still hear your footsteps walking through my door
You left a trace of your perfume on the pillow to my right
Now all I want is to hold you through the falling of the night
The miles pull us apart but the memory stays so clear
I close my eyes and I can feel you drawing near
My fingers trace the places where you used to lay your head
I'm holding onto everything you ever said
Oh those old ticket stubs are a map right back to you
To the nights we got lost underneath the painted blue
I'd give everything I have just to taste your lips again
And pull you close against me like I did back then
Like I did back then, yeah
Pull you close to me
I'm pouring a drink and I'm staring at the flame
And the crackle of the fire almost sounds just like your name
There's a chill in the breeze but I'm burning up inside
Got this heavy kind of hunger that I cannot even hide
The miles pull us apart but the memory stays so clear
I close my eyes and I can feel you drawing near
My fingers trace the places where you used to lay your head
I'm holding onto everything you ever said
Oh those old ticket stubs are a map right back to you
To the nights we got lost underneath the painted blue
I'd give everything I have just to taste your lips again
And pull you close against me like I did back then
Like I did back then, yeah
Pull you close to me
The hours turn to dust when you are far away
Waiting on the sunrise to bring a better day
Every shadow in this room is whispering a plea
You know Sayed is holding on until you're back with me
I'm waiting for the moment when the silence finally breaks
And I can feel the shiver that your tender touch makes
I still have them all, every single one
Just waiting for the day you come back home
Oh those old ticket stubs are a map right back to you
To the nights we got lost underneath the painted blue
I'd give everything I have just to taste your lips again
And pull you close against me like I did back then
And suddenly I'm back there with every word you wrote
