[Intro] (Male) Rain on the glass, but I’m still wide awake Phone face down, got a promise to make [Verse 1] (Male) You left your jacket by the kitchen chair I keep it there like you might reappear The coffee went cold in the paper cup I read your last message, never sent one back I took the long way past your old apartment New paint on the door, but I know where the marks went Friends say I’m good, I just nod and agree Then your name finds a way through the quiet in me [Pre-Chorus] (Male) I don’t need a crowd, I need one honest answer Why did forever fold under that pressure? [Chorus] (Male) If you call, I’ll pick up, even if it’s late Even if the words come out all wrong again I’ve been carrying your side of the empty space Trying to move on, but I circle back (Male + Female) If you call, I’ll pick up, I won’t make you wait There’s a part of me that never changed [Verse 2] (Female) New tires on the car, same route through town Bass turned low when your street comes around I got better at hiding the bruise in my voice But healing ain’t the same as making a choice I saw your sister at the grocery store She said you’re doing fine, then she looked at the floor I bought two oranges, left one on the sill Some habits survive when the heart says they will [Pre-Chorus] (Female) I don’t need a crowd, I need one honest answer Why did forever fold under that pressure? [Chorus] (Male + Female) If you call, I’ll pick up, even if it’s late Even if the words come out all wrong again I’ve been carrying your side of the empty space Trying to move on, but I circle back If you call, I’ll pick up, I won’t make you wait There’s a part of me that never changed [Bridge] (Male) Maybe we were young, maybe timing took its toll (Female) Maybe letting go is how you save a soul (Male) Or maybe that’s the story we tell ourselves When we’re too scared to hold on (Male + Female) But if you ever wonder where I stand tonight I’m still one ring away from turning on the light [Final Chorus] (Male + Female) If you call, I’ll pick up, even if it’s late Even if the words come out all wrong again I’ve been carrying your side of the empty space Trying to move on, but I circle back If you call, I’ll pick up, I won’t make you wait There’s a part of me that never changed [Outro] (Male) Your jacket’s on the chair, the room is still I leave the porch light on against my will
