[Verse 1] I kept your jacket by the kitchen chair Like you might reach for it and still be there Then your face showed up in the grocery glass In the dim reflection of a truck gone past I laughed it off, I blamed the tired eyes But every stranger wore your crooked smile The woman at the register said my name And for one second, it sounded like you again [Pre-Chorus] I changed the route, I locked the chain I took your picture off the frame But every room kept giving you away [Chorus] Now there’s a new name on the door And I don’t live here anymore I see your face in every place I go In the drainage steam, in the window glow You’re not outside, you’re not in my phone So why do I feel you walking me home? I loved you once, now I’m not sure There’s a new name on the door [Verse 2] Your old blue car was parked across the street Same shape, same dent above the rear-right wheel I called my sister, kept the curtains closed The engine turned, then disappeared below At work, a man leaned over just to speak I saw your mouth before I heard his teeth I dropped my keys, I couldn’t make them fit The lock kept turning, turning, turning in my grip [Pre-Chorus] I changed the route, I locked the chain I took your picture off the frame But every room kept giving you away [Chorus] Now there’s a new name on the door And I don’t live here anymore I see your face in every place I go In the scattered leaves, in the window glow You’re not outside, you’re not in my phone So why do I feel you walking me home? I loved you once, now I’m not sure There’s a new name on the door [Verse 3] I remember the cheap red sauce on Thursdays You stealing fries from the corner place Your laugh by the blue bayou in April Grease on your shirt, sun on your face You fixed my sink with a butter knife Held my hand when the power went out I loved how you knew my coffee order How you said my name like you meant it out loud [Bridge] I called the police at quarter past two Said, “Someone keeps becoming you” They checked the hall, the parking lot, the stairs Found no one there, but I could feel you everywhere Then the officer looked into my eyes And wore your face beneath the fluorescent lights [Final Chorus] Now there’s a new name on the door But I don’t know what it’s for anymore Your face is waiting in the bathroom glass I turn around and let the moment pass You’re not outside, you’re not in my phone I know that, I know that, I’m still not alone I loved you once, now I’m not sure There’s a new name on the door There’s a new name on the door [Outro] I changed the lock, I changed the floor Still your face is at the door
