Lyrics

Verse

A dusty box beneath the bed
Old letters that I never read
Tracing lines of a younger hand
A map to a long-forgotten land

Chorus

Oh, the curves and the loops of the blue
A ghost of a person I once knew
Spilled on the page like a melody slow
The ink tells the secrets I used to know

Verse

A jagged stroke, a heavy weight
The messy scrawl of a certain date
The way I pressed the pen so deep
Promises I couldn't keep

Chorus

Oh, the curves and the loops of the blue
A ghost of a person I once knew
Spilled on the page like a melody slow
The ink tells the secrets I used to know

Bridge

The paper is yellow, the edges are frayed
Watching the colors of memory fade
But the rhythm of writing remains in the bone
A language of feeling I've outgrown

Chorus

Oh, the curves and the loops of the blue
A ghost of a person I once knew
Spilled on the page like a melody slow
The ink tells the secrets I used to know
