[Verse 1] I got my hand on the knob Then I just stood in the hall Shoes on, keys in my fist And I lost my phone What was I after again? It was right there a second ago Now I’m staring at the dog Like she’s the one that knows [Pre-Chorus] I keep turning back Halfway down the stairs You say, “What now?” I say, “I swear it was there” [Chorus] In the other room In the other room I left my phone right there And I can’t get through In the other room In the other room Hold that thought for me I’m coming back soon [Verse 2] It’s on the tip of my tongue And the tip of my shoe I’m standing in the doorway Like I’m waiting on you There’s a sock on the chair There’s a spoon by the sink A stack of papers And the puppy’s little squirrel underneath It squeaks when I move it And I stop there and think Every little thing here Throws me off what I think Every little thing here Throws me off what I think [Pre-Chorus] I keep turning back Like I heard my name You laugh and you know I’m not making a case [Chorus] In the other room In the other room I left my phone right there And I can’t get through In the other room In the other room Hold that thought for me I’m coming back soon [Bridge] I look under the couch Then behind the lamp Across the coffee table Past the sugar and stamps In the hall closet, on the shelf In the sink, in the coat I open every drawer I own And find a receipt, a gum wrapper, and hope [Outro] Then I feel something buzzing Right there in my hand I look down at the screen Like I finally understand You say, “You found it?” I say, “Yeah, I did” You say, “Where was it?” I look at you and grin It was in my hand It was in my hand The whole damn time It was in my hand [Final Chorus] In the other room In the other room I thought I left it there But it was here with you In the other room In the other room Hold that thought for me I’m coming back soon [Outro] I put my phone in my pocket Then I look around And wonder what I came in here for Without making a sound
