[Intro] You left your old coat on my chair The rain kept tapping at the glass I told myself I didn’t care Then watched the whole evening pass [Verse 1] Your coffee cup still has a ring Beside the note you never signed I turn it slowly in my hand Like that could turn back time [Pre-Chorus] Say my name like you mean to stay Don’t let the quiet answer for you [Chorus] Come close, come close, before we disappear Put your cold hands here, let me keep you near If love is a door we can’t leave ajar Then tell me the truth, wherever we are Come close, come close, while the room still knows The shape of your laugh, the weight of your coat [Verse 2] The hallway bulb burns yellow-gold Your boots are lined beside the wall I hear the lift descend below And still I don’t move at all [Pre-Chorus] Say my name like you mean to stay Don’t let the quiet answer for you [Chorus] Come close, come close, before we disappear Put your cold hands here, let me keep you near If love is a door we can’t leave ajar Then tell me the truth, wherever we are Come close, come close, while the room still knows The shape of your laugh, the weight of your coat [Bridge] Maybe we were brave in all the wrong ways Maybe we were young and we called it fate If you turn the handle, I won’t ask you to stay I only need to know what you couldn’t say [Final Chorus] Come close, come close, before we disappear Put your cold hands here, let me keep you near If love is a door we can’t leave ajar Then tell me the truth, wherever we are Come close, come close, while the room still knows The shape of your laugh, the weight of your coat (Soft ad-libs: come close… stay near…) [Outro] Your old coat waits on the chair Morning finds the room still there
