Back Shelf
Style: Acoustic soul

[Verse 1]
Dust settles slow on the leather spines
Nobody comes back this far
I found you here by accident
Now I know right where you are

[Pre-chorus]
I used to just skim the covers
Never stayed long enough to read
Then you opened up so quiet

[Chorus]
Bodhi, you're the one I keep
Not the one I just borrow
Steady as an old back shelf
Still here come tomorrow

[Verse 2]
Some books get read once and shelved
You're the one I return to
Every worn-soft page still holds
Something true I'm learning through

[Bridge]
Other loves were paperback fast
Gone before the spine could crack
You're bound in something built to last

[Chorus]
Bodhi, you're the one I keep
Not the one I just borrow
Steady as an old back shelf
Still here come tomorrow

[Outro]
Let the dust keep falling slow
I'm not leaving this back row
