I Came Home Wrong

[Verse 1] I set my keys in the bowl Too soft to make a sound Kitchen light kept buzzing Like it didn’t want me found Water in a glass Dust along the frame Everything sat waiting there Like I still had the same name I stood there with my coat on One hand on the door The room looked right through me Like it had seen souls like mine before [Refrain] I came home wrong I came home late The light stayed on The walls stayed straight Nothing fell Nothing moved Nothing knew What I had done I came home wrong And the house kept on [Verse 2] I washed my hands in silence Till the water lost its heat Pressed my palms into the counter Trying to feel clean Mirror over the sink Didn’t ask me where I’d been Just handed back a stranger With my mouth and my skin I thought the floor might answer I thought the dark might bend But the clock kept cutting seconds Off the same old end [Refrain] I came home wrong I came home late The light stayed on The walls stayed straight Nothing fell Nothing moved Nothing knew What I had done I came home wrong And the house kept on [Bridge] I wanted thunder I wanted proof A crack in the ceiling Some hard gospel truth But the fridge kept humming The faucet still dripped And sorry sat heavy On the back of my lips [Final Refrain] I came home wrong Set my keys down soft The light stayed on Like nothing was lost Nothing fell Nothing moved Nothing knew What I had done I came home wrong I came home wrong [Outro] The room stayed warm The night stayed long I took off my coat And left myself on [End]
