You don’t call

You left your boots by the back door Laces loose like you meant to come back Coffee’s cold on the same old floor And your dog still runs when I come That old screen door still sings your name Every time it swings in the wind Ain’t touched your closet, ain’t cleaned your side I guess I’m waitin’ to see you again I ain’t mad that you needed the space Hell, I could use a little less noise But you drove off with half my voice And I still talk like you’re in the next room (Chorus) You don’t write But I still leave the porch light on Like some part of me Still thinks you’re just runnin’ late And I don’t cry But the dishes pile up like storms And the bed don’t feel half wrong It just feels half full these days Your sister stopped by on Sunday Brought me the sweater you wore last fall Said you been stayin’ out near Salt Lake Tryna figure it all…. Out And I lied, said I’m doin’ just fine Told her work’s been good, I’ve been keepin’ in line But the truth is, girl, I’ve been sleepin’ on time ‘Cause the dreams hit different when it’s your goodbye (Chorus) You don’t call But I still charge my phone at night Just in case you forget how far You’ve gone to not say my name And I don’t fall But I sit on your side sometimes Just to feel like the line ain’t drawn All the way across this place (Bridge) I know you had to leave to know If stayin’ ever meant the same But you’re still painted in this home Like the sun through the window pane (Outro) You don’t come But the porch light’s still on, babe And it don’t cost much to believe In something that once stayed
