[Verse 1] You left your jacket on the passenger seat Said you'd get it Tuesday, maybe after three Tuesday turned to Friday, Friday turned to rain Now you're at my doorway smiling once again Funny how your jacket never seems to leave When there's one more coffee you could have with me [Pre-Chorus] Check the weather, it's warm all week What other reason could you possibly need? You don't have to make an excuse I'm making space on the hook for you [Chorus] Keep the jacket here Come a little nearer You can say you came to pick it up I can say I didn't hear you Leave your little reason Hanging by the door Keep the jacket here And come back for more [Verse 2] There's a movie halfway finished on my screen And your favorite kind of crackers next to me I know what you take in your afternoon tea That's a lot of detail for a lost-property thing Your sleeve is brushed against my favorite dress Some things fall together without making a mess [Pre-Chorus] You reach for it and then you turn Ask what time I get home from work I'll tell you straight, no clever line Come for you and I'll make time [Chorus] Keep the jacket here Come a little nearer You can say you came to pick it up I can say I didn't hear you Leave your little reason Hanging by the door Keep the jacket here And come back for more [Bridge - intimate solo vocal and grand piano] You took it with you Sunday I thought that was the end Monday you rang empty-handed "Can I come in again?" [Instrumental interlude - live orchestra, no vocals] [Final Chorus] Bring your jacket here Come a little nearer You can say you came to see me now I can say I love to hear it No more little reasons Hanging by the door Bring your jacket here And stay a little more [Outro] I've got space on the hook I've got time if you've got time
