[Genre: Modern Country Ballad] [Tempo: 72 BPM] [Key: A minor] [Acoustic guitars, pedal steel, minimal drums] [Male Voice: weathered, emotional] [Hook - Acoustic guitar intro] The sky fell down today Phone's ringin' but you won't call These walls keep closin' in Can't breathe at all When you're not here to catch me [Verse 1 - Add gentle pedal steel] Last Thursday when you left Last Thursday when you left I said I'd be just fine Fake smile plastered on my face While my truck watched yours drive away Dust clouds hid the tears I couldn't keep inside Your coffee cup's still on the counter Right where you set it down Right where you set it down Lipstick on the rim, half-empty, gone cold Just like everything in this house since then [Pre-Chorus - Drums enter softly] I tried to fix that fence out back The one you always said would fall Hammer missed the nail Hit my thumb instead Cursed your name under my breath But truth is, darlin' I just miss your laugh [Chorus - Full band] The sky fell down today Phone's ringin' but you won't call These walls keep closin' in Can't breathe at all When you're not here to catch me The fields are burnin' dry Storm clouds gatherin' tall This whole world's endin' And I'm standin' small 'Cause you're not here to catch me [Verse 2 - Strip back to guitar] Found your letter this mornin' Tucked beneath the door Your words cut deeper than that Broken glass on our bedroom floor Dog's been whinin' since Tuesday Won't eat from his bowl Just stares down that empty driveway Like he knows more than I do About why people go and never return [Bridge - Bass and pedal steel build] Radio says there's a twister Ten miles outside of town Sirens wailin', warnings flashin' But I can't seem to move now This old house could blow away And I might just let it 'Cause what's the point of shelter When the storm's already inside? [Chorus - Full band with stronger drums] The sky fell down today Phone's ringin' but you won't call These walls keep closin' in Can't breathe at all When you're not here to catch me The fields are burnin' dry Storm clouds gatherin' tall This whole world's endin' And I'm standin ' small 'Cause you're not here to catch me [Outro - Acoustic guitar only, vocals fading] Your side of the bed stays made Like you might come home again But we both know better than that Don't we, darlin'? Don't we?
