Stay for the Quiet

[Verse 1] You left your blue coat on my chair Dust on the sleeve, your scent still there The kettle clicks, the room stays dim I fold the note you never signed [Pre-Chorus] You said the train was running late I watched the clock forget the date [Chorus] Stay for the quiet, stay for the ache Say it like something we can’t quite fake Your hand on the table, mine pulling away We almost meant it, then let it decay [Verse 2] The record skips where you laughed once A little crackle, a little hush I find your key beneath the book And leave it there, and leave it there [Pre-Chorus] You said the morning would make it clear The window opened; you weren’t here [Chorus] Stay for the quiet, stay for the ache Say it like something we can’t quite fake Your hand on the table, mine pulling away We almost meant it, then let it decay [Bridge] No grand goodbye, no slammed front door Just one less cup beside the four I keep the blue coat where it was As if the shape could still be us [Final Chorus] Stay for the quiet, stay for the ache Say it like something we can’t quite fake Your hand on the table, mine pulling away We almost meant it, then let it decay [Outro] I fold the note I leave the key The kettle clicks The room stays dim
