[Verse 1]

Coffee and quiet

I can't help but notice

How you weave wispy lines of ink

Just like my favourite tattoo artist

You missed my glance

Still and undecided

There's a fear I can't shake

You don't hesitate to look right past or through it


[Pre-Chorus]

Now you

Stick out in crowded rooms and

Pop up in déjà vus and

I watch all the films you say are good

Even though I wouldn't have checked them out myself

You've got me good

And I don't even know what this is


[Chorus]

So tell me where you are

My little liminal spark

So tell me where you are

Where I can meet you

Where I can love you

Where I can hold on to you


[Verse 2]

When your vision blurs in the moment

I think about all the words that you've spoken

Like how you thought I was cool

But all I thought was about you


[Pre-Chorus 2]

'Cause now your

Your eyes do all the talking

You take me grocery shopping

Your sister's showing me old photos of yourselves

And you hide your face

There's a warmth I can't quite place

But won't replace for the world


[Chorus]

So tell me where you are

My little liminal spark

So tell me where you are

Where I can meet you

Where I can love you

Where I can hold on to you


[Bridge]

Will you tell me that everything's alright

Or fade to black in the morning light?

Can't recall all the shades of red

'Cause yours still burns in my head

Like a flare at night with you

You called me up at night just to tell me a joke

My old address on your fridge on a yellowed note

The sweaters piled up in the corner look like mine

You call my name just so I can tell you the time

Take me back up the trees where the world was ours

Send a map where I'll never ever count the hours

I'll find the clearing behind your house and meet you there

Leave a message I'll call you to ask you where

You are (So tell me where you are)

Oh, my little liminal spark


[Chorus]

So tell me where you are

Where I can meet you (Oh, oh)

Where I can love you

Where I can hold on to you

So tell me where you are

My little liminal spark (My little liminal spark)

(To meet you) So tell me where you are

(To love you) Where I can meet you

(To hold on to you) Where I can love you

Where I can hold on to you
