[Intro] (fingerpicked guitar, soft hand claps) [Verse 1] Your keys are jingling by the door Coat half on, you're out once more I never say the things I mean I'm not that good with words, it seems [Pre-Chorus] So I give you something small A few little words that hold it all [Chorus] Text me when you get home Just a "made it," just a "here," just a heart on the phone Text me when you get home I'll be up, I'll be fine, I'll be watching for the glow It ain't poetry, I know It's just the way I say "I love you," so Text me when you get home [Verse 2] My mama said it on the phone Every Sunday, "Call me when you're home" I rolled my eyes at twenty-two Now I'm the one who's saying it to you [Pre-Chorus] Funny how the old words come around The ones we swore we'd never sound [Chorus] Text me when you get home Just a "made it," just a "here," just a heart on the phone Text me when you get home I'll be up, I'll be fine, I'll be watching for the glow It ain't poetry, I know It's just the way I say "I love you," so Text me when you get home [Bridge] (stripped back, guitar and voice) And someday when it's my turn to go Down a road that you don't know Don't you cry, don't wait up late I'll be fine beyond the gate Keep the porch light burning low I'll let you know I made it home [Final Chorus] (full harmonies, claps return) Text me when you get home Just a "made it," just a "here," just a heart on the phone Text me when you get home I'll be up, I'll be fine, I'll be watching for the glow It ain't poetry, I know It's just the way I say "I love you," so Text me when you get home [Outro] (soft, fading) Text me when you get home ...I'm home
