From ELiza’s first song in the book entitled North of Always …
Chorus: Then you touched me like I was light not wreckage spoke my name like it was a song, not a sentence. Held me steady, held me soft, made me believe That love could rewrite the story grief left me So reclaim me —kiss by kiss trace by trace. Remind me, I’m not broken just misplaced.
Reclaim me love reclaim me.
