Spine
Style: Blues slow dance

[Verse 1]
Dust on the shelf where you left it
Your name in the front, half faded
Nobody else would keep this
You never asked me to

[Chorus]
Janet, you're steadier than granite
Nothing about you is a habit
Two whole years I've held this planet
Janet, you're the one I meant

[Verse 2]
My fingers know that paper spine
Worn soft from all your reading
Some part of you stayed in it
Quiet, and hard to lose

[Pre-chorus]
Funny how a shelf can hold a heart
Funny how I never noticed till you left
Now every quiet room is asking for you

[Chorus]
Janet, you're steadier than granite
Nothing about you is a habit
Two whole years I've held this planet
Janet, you're the one I meant

[Bridge]
Come back and take the book down
Put your name back in my hands

[Chorus]
Janet, you're steadier than granite
Nothing about you is a habit
Two whole years I've held this planet
Janet, you're the one I meant

[Outro]
I'll leave the spine right where it rests
Waiting, the way I wait for you
