[Verse 1] You left your blue coat on the kitchen chair Rain in the cuffs, loose thread at the pair I found your note by the flour tin Three crooked words: “Don’t let me in” [Pre-Chorus] But I know that knock, I know that pace The little pause before your face [Chorus] Come in, come in, if you’re coming home Put your keys beside the cracked-up phone No grand apology, no polished speech Just sit down close enough to reach Come in, come in, the kettle’s loud We can be honest without the crowd [Verse 2] Your brother called from the bypass road Said you were carrying a borrowed load A paper map and a rusted ring A half-made plan for everything [Pre-Chorus] You said the truth would cost too much I said the truth is still a touch [Chorus] Come in, come in, if you’re coming home Put your keys beside the cracked-up phone No grand apology, no polished speech Just sit down close enough to reach Come in, come in, the kettle’s loud We can be honest without the crowd [Bridge] The floorboards count every step you take The old clock stutters, then starts to wake If you’ve got nothing, bring nothing through There’s room at the table, room for you [Final Chorus] Come in, come in, if you’re coming home Put your keys beside the cracked-up phone No grand apology, no polished speech Just sit down close enough to reach Come in, come in, the kettle’s loud We can be honest without the crowd [Outro] Blue coat drying by the stove One more night, and then we’ll know
