[Verse 1] Your coat is hanging by the door The kettle clicks at half past four I count the cracks across the wall Then hear your footsteps in the hall [Pre-Chorus] The room keeps turning, I stay awake One small promise I couldn't break [Chorus] I can't sleep while you're still gone I keep the hallway light turned on Every hour comes around I hear your name without a sound I can't sleep, I can't let go The morning takes its time to show [Verse 2] A glass of water, untouched still The curtains move against their will Your note is folded by the phone Three simple words: I'll make it home [Pre-Chorus] The room keeps turning, I stay awake One small promise I couldn't break [Chorus] I can't sleep while you're still gone I keep the hallway light turned on Every hour comes around I hear your name without a sound I can't sleep, I can't let go The morning takes its time to show [Bridge] Then tires hush along the street A key turns once, a familiar beat You step inside, you say my name And all the hours lose their claim [Final Chorus] I can sleep, you're finally home No more listening alone Every hour settles down Your hand is warm inside my own I can sleep, the night can go The morning finds us slow [Outro] Your coat is hanging by the door The kettle clicks; I count no more
