Magnifying Glass Lyrics

You come with your magnifying glass

Read the words upon my heart

Trace your fingers along the lines

Tangled in that secret part

In darkness with your skeleton keys

You open every box

Softly read the letters to me

Of faded and forgotten thoughts

I've been keeping out the cold with stone walls and ivy

I'd build a fire but nothing warmed me

Until you came calling my name

No matter what you found

You loved me just the same

The veil of my heart falls to the earth

You put your loving hands where it hurts

You kiss the lining, delicate as a butterfly

I'm stretched wide as a prairie sky

You lift the dust when you breathe

Dandelion seeds upon the breeze

There's a pin prick of light in the deep, deep, deep

Where I didn't know anyone could reach

I've been keeping out the cold with stone walls and ivy

I'd build a fire but nothing warmed me

Until you came, your face lit by the flame

No matter what you found

You loved me just the same

I must have been writing about you

With every detail that came true

But love fell in, long before the final pages

Fumbling through the hidden spaces
