[Verse 1] You left your blue coat on the kitchen chair A paper tram ticket folded in the sleeve I read the date, then set it down with care As if the room could teach me to believe [Pre-Chorus] The kettle clicks, the pipes begin to sing I count the floors between your door and mine [Chorus] Come back before the morning changes shape Come back before I learn to let you go I keep one hand upon the window frame And one beneath the words I never showed [Verse 2] Your photograph is turned toward the wall The frame is warm from where the sunlight fell I hear the neighbor's footsteps in the hall Then lose them in the elevator bell [Pre-Chorus] The winter air slips underneath the door I say your name, but not the one you knew [Chorus] Come back before the morning changes shape Come back before I learn to let you go I keep one hand upon the window frame And one beneath the words I never showed [Bridge] If I cross the river, will it make me new? If I burn the map, will I still find you? There is a room inside the sound of rain Where every goodbye arrives again [Final Chorus] Come back before the morning changes shape Come back before I turn the key and go I keep one hand upon the window frame And one beneath the words I never showed [Outro] The blue coat waits where you left it there The blue coat waits, and I am learning air
