Why Are You Here?

I left the lights off when I left Didn't know how long it'd be Didn't leave a note up on the door Couldn't save a seat for me Somehow there's more names now Than the last time I was here Some of you I don't recognize So... Why are you here? Did you find an old song somewhere At two in the morning, half awake? Did a line sound like something you knew Was it just a happy mistake? 'Cause I haven't given you anything Nothing new to stick around to hear Found a quiet little corner of the internet Yet you stayed here That's weird Thank you Why are you here? No, really, why? I wasn't calling out your name Couldn't ask you to wait outside Yet you found me anyway Some before, some while I was gone I don't know what you heard in me But I'm glad you heard something I'm glad you're here I could tell you that I'm back now Like that means I'll never leave I could make a couple promises Neither one of us should believe So I won't Somehow, I'm here today I've got a song, you've got ears Maybe that's enough for us While we're both here Why are you here? I still don't know Maybe you liked something I made Maybe you just forgot to go Either way, pull up a chair You don't owe me anything We don't have to make forever Out of every little thing I'm just glad you're here You had whole lives while I was gone Bad days, maybe birthdays, falling in and out of love Songs you found that weren't by me People you lost, people you'd meet I wasn't the main character Wasn't even in the scene Still somehow Here you are Here with me That's enough for me So why are you here? Maybe don't answer that Some things get smaller The more we try to understand I don't need you to wait for me I won't ask you not to leave But while you're here And while I'm here There's somewhere we can be No promises about tomorrow No grand return this year Just, I made another song And you're still here That's weird Thank you See you tomorrow
