Face Down
Style: Irish air

[Verse 1]
I set the receiver down today
let the tea go cold in the cup
no voice on the line could keep me
when you were the one I looked up

[Pre-chorus]
Nobody rings me the way you do
without saying a single word
so I let the silence settle
and I lean toward what I heard

[Chorus]
Leslie, you're the reason I stay near
closer than the tea I never drink
Leslie, whatever I was chasing
you're worth more than I could think

[Verse 2]
You caught me watching you too long
across a table gone half bare
I didn't mind that you noticed
I wanted you to know I was there

[Bridge]
Let the phone lie face down still
let the steam rise up and fade
nothing said by wire or signal
means as much as what you've made

[Chorus]
Leslie, you're the reason I stay near
closer than the tea I never drink
Leslie, whatever I was chasing
you're worth more than I could think

[Outro]
The mug's gone cold beside the phone
but you're the warm I still hold on
