Your coat still hangs by the door Like you might come back I hear your keys in the bowl Then I remember that's not facts The room keeps your shape In the crease of the chair And I sit with the silence Like you oughta be there [Pre-Chorus] When the night leans in When I start falling apart Every little thing here Knows the map of my heart [Chorus] When I think of you, I can almost see That face I loved looking back at me But it blurs in mist—then vanishes from sight And those lips I kissed Fade before my eyes Since you’ve been gone, The time runs slow And the memories crowd in To the heartaches I know [Verse 2] I still set out two cups By the morning light Then I catch myself reaching For your hand on the right Your name hits my tongue Like rain on stone I say it out loud So the house won't feel alone [ [music interlude introduced by fingerpicked acoustic guitar and joined by both mandolin and violin in background counter melodies this lasts for 10 bars Pre-Chorus] When the night leans in And I start falling apart Every little thing here Knows the map of my heart [Chorus] When I think of you, I can almost see That face I loved looking back at me But it blurs in mist—then vanishes from sight And those lips I kissed Fade before my eyes Since you’ve been gone, The time runs slow And the memories crowd in To the heartaches I know [Bridge] If love leaves a trace It's a thin silver line I follow it home Through the hush in my mind And I swear for a second You're standing near Then the whole soft world Turns too hard and too clear [Final Chorus] [Chorus] When I think of you, I can almost see That face I loved looking back at me But it blurs in mist—then vanishes from sight And those lips I kissed Fade before my eyes Since you’ve been gone, The time runs slow And the memories crowd in To the heartaches I know [Outro] And my heart tries to rewrite Our Memory show On a play in my mind, The cast just us two And you exit the stage, Like the turn of a page The actor is gone And I’m standing . . . alone [instrumental outro with at least 6 bars of lead fingerpicked acoustic guitar, accompanied by mandolin and violin]
