[Verse 1] You left your blue coat by the kitchen chair Rain on the cuffs, your perfume in the air I fold it slowly like it might still keep The shape of you beside me when I sleep [Pre-Chorus] The kettle clicks, the room goes still I hear your laugh against my will [Chorus] If you come back, leave the hallway light on I'll meet you there before the cold is gone No grand promises, no perfect lines Just your hand finding its way back into mine [Verse 2] Your name is penciled on the grocery list Beside the bread and peaches that we missed I cross it out, then write it once again As if a little ink could call you in [Pre-Chorus] The kettle clicks, the room goes still I hear your laugh against my will [Chorus] If you come back, leave the hallway light on I'll meet you there before the cold is gone No grand promises, no perfect lines Just your hand finding its way back into mine [Bridge] Maybe we were tired, maybe we were proud Maybe we let small things get too loud If there's a road that brings you to this door I won't ask what kept you gone before [Final Chorus] If you come back, leave the hallway light on I'll meet you there before the cold is gone No grand promises, no perfect lines Just your hand finding its way back into mine [Outro] The blue coat waits beside the chair And I still leave a little room for you there
