[Intro] City lights fading on the rearview glass You left your jacket in the backseat fast I keep it there like a quiet sign That you might come back anytime [Verse 1] You said things you didn’t mean last night I stayed too calm, you stayed too loud in the fight Now the kitchen’s still half-turned upside down And I’m walking circles in this empty sound Your coffee’s cold on the counter still I swear I hear your footsteps on the windowsill But it’s just me and a flickering screen Trying to read between what you didn’t mean [Pre-Chorus] And I know we don’t break that easy But we don’t fix it clean either Still I’m holding on to something small Like your name when it hits my call [Chorus] Call me when you’re home Even if it’s late and you’re alone I don’t care what we said before Just don’t let this turn into more Call me when you’re home I don’t wanna sleep here on my own If you’re out there, don’t let it show Just call me when you’re home [Verse 2] I tried to clean up every sign of you But your hoodie’s still where I left it too And I could lie and say I’m doing fine But I still check the door every single time Maybe we’re both just learning slow How to stay when we wanna go I replay the words we threw like stones And wonder which ones cut to the bone [Pre-Chorus] And I know we don’t break that easy But silence gets heavy, believe me So I’m holding on to something small Like your name when it hits my call [Chorus] Call me when you’re home Even if it’s late and you’re alone I don’t care what we said before Just don’t let this turn into more Call me when you’re home I don’t wanna sleep here on my own If you’re out there, don’t let it show Just call me when you’re home [Bridge] If you’re halfway back, turn around If you’re lost, I’ll still be found We don’t have to be perfect tonight Just don’t let go without a fight Maybe love’s not loud or bold Maybe it’s just coming home [Final Chorus] Call me when you’re home Even if it’s late and you’re alone I don’t care what we said before Just don’t let this turn into more Call me when you’re home I’ll leave the light on by the phone If you’re out there, don’t let it show Just call me when you’re home Call me when you’re home [Outro] City lights fade but I still wait Listening close for your return rate One small sound, one ringing tone That says you’re finally coming home
