[Verse 1] Your blue coat hangs behind the door Like you might reach for it once more I leave the hallway lamp turned low For reasons only old rooms know [Pre-Chorus] I keep the kettle by the sink And pause before I start to think [Chorus] If you come back in the quiet I will know you by the sound By the way you touch the table By the way you turn around I won’t ask you for forever I won’t make you promise why Just sit beside me for a minute Before the morning takes the sky [Verse 2] Your paperback is facedown still A folded page beside the windowsill I found the note beneath the frame Three simple words without your name [Pre-Chorus] Some kinds of leaving never close They settle softly in the clothes [Chorus] If you come back in the quiet I will know you by the sound By the way you touch the table By the way you turn around I won’t ask you for forever I won’t make you promise why Just sit beside me for a minute Before the morning takes the sky [Bridge] And if the door stays where it is I’ll learn the shape of what we miss Not as a wound, not as a chain Just one warm room inside the rain [Final Chorus] If you come back in the quiet I will leave the hallway bright You can place your coat beside me You can stay beyond the night I won’t ask you for forever I won’t make you promise why Just sit beside me for a minute Before the morning takes the sky [Outro] Your blue coat hangs behind the door But I don’t fear the room anymore
