[INTRO] [VERSE] Woke up Tuesday, coffee going cold The room felt smaller, the silence ten years old I reached for something — don't know what I meant Like grabbing smoke, like chasing what she left She used to walk in when the night fell right She'd fill the empty with a kind of light No warning, no note, no reason that I see Just Callie gone and nothing left of me [PRE-CHORUS] She was the match before the fire knew its name And now I'm just ash — and nothing looks the same [CHORUS] Callie come home, Callie come home Since you've been gone I can't find the words to say How much I miss you — they just won't come my way Callie come home, Callie come home [VERSE] I called her name into a broken mic Got back an echo and a feedback spike I flipped through notebooks full of almost-theres Half-finished bridges, unresolved affairs She never asked for much, she never stayed for long She'd show up like a season, like a long-lost song But now the season's stuck and nothing wants to turn And I got kindling but I lost the burn [PRE-CHORUS] She was the spark that made the whole damn thing make sense Now I'm just a room full of past tense [CHORUS] Callie come home, Callie come home Since you've been gone I can't find the words to say How much I miss you — they just won't come my way Callie come home, Callie come home [GUITAR SOLO] [FINAL CHORUS] Callie come home, Callie come home Since you've been gone I can't find the words to say How much I miss you — they just won't come my way Callie come home — God, Callie come home [OUTRO] She'll come back when she's ready, I suppose Or when I'm ready — God only knows That's what they say — that's how the story goes But the night is long and the page is white And Callie, baby — I miss you tonight.. [end]
