Text Me When You're Home

[Verse 1] You leave before the last song fades Pull your sleeves down while I call your ride The driver flashes from the curb You turn around and catch my eye I almost say a bigger thing Then say the words that mean it quietly [Pre-Chorus] There are ways to say I care That fit inside the ordinary air [Chorus] Text me when you're home Tell me that you made it One little light upon my phone And I can put the night away then Text me when you're home You don't need a perfect sentence Just a little yes, I'm fine You were somewhere on my mind [Verse 2] I do the dishes half asleep Your empty cup is by the window A picture comes of mismatched socks You write, "I'm in, and thanks for dinner" I type a joke and then erase And send, "I'm glad you came" with my whole face [Pre-Chorus] There are ways to say I care That fit inside the ordinary air [Chorus] Text me when you're home Tell me that you made it One little light upon my phone And I can put the night away then Text me when you're home You don't need a perfect sentence Just a little yes, I'm fine You were somewhere on my mind [Bridge - intimate solo vocal, piano and strings] Maybe love begins this small Before we know what we should call it Somebody's safety in our thoughts And one more reason to stay awake a moment [Instrumental interlude - orchestra and rhythm section, no vocals] [Final Chorus] Text me when you're home Tell me that you made it One little light upon my phone And I can put the night away then Text me when you're home You don't need a perfect sentence Just a little yes, I'm fine You were somewhere on my mind [Outro] One little light Yes, I'm fine You were somewhere on my mind
