[Verse 1]
I found your name in the floorboards
Under the bass and the dust
Back when the nights were simple
And we believed in us
Your laugh on a cracked old photo
Your hand on the mall food tray
We danced with our shoes untied
Like we had nowhere else to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold me in that old glow
Spin me where the lost go
One more turn, don't let go
Take me where the years slow
[Chorus]
Glass ribbon, take me back
Glass ribbon, in the track
We were golden, we were mad
We were everything we had
Glass ribbon, through the night
Glass ribbon, hold me tight
If I blink, I'm gone again
So pull me back, pull me back in
[Verse 2]
Now the room got bigger, colder
But I still know that bend
Where you swore we'd never fade out
And I swore I'd never bend
I still wear that old sunset
On the inside of my chest
Every time that beat comes rolling
You come back with the rest
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold me in that old glow
Spin me where the lost go
One more turn, don't let go
Take me where the years slow
[Chorus]
Glass ribbon, take me back
Glass ribbon, in the track
We were golden, we were mad
We were everything we had
Glass ribbon, through the night
Glass ribbon, hold me tight
If I blink, I'm gone again
So pull me back, pull me back in
[Bridge]
And if the past gets heavy
I'll still wear it like a ring
All those little almosts
Still know how to sing
So cut the room in half
Let the memory land
I don't need forever
Just your hand in my hand
[Final Chorus]
Glass ribbon, take me back
Glass ribbon, in the track
We were golden, we were mad
We were everything we had
Glass ribbon, through the night
Glass ribbon, hold me tight
If I blink, I'm gone again
So pull me back, pull me back in
