Jacket by the Door (Boroara)

[Intro] Hey! Hey! You left your jacket by the door I still reach for it when the morning hits the floor [Verse 1] The bus rolls past Fruitvale Your name is folded in my mouth I bought two cups at the corner stand Then poured the second one out Your blue bike by the stairwell Still leans against the rail I tell myself you’re coming back But the lie is wearing pale [Pre-Chorus] I’ve got salt on my sleeves And your number in my hand Every mile down 880 Says I don’t understand [Chorus] I miss you like a siren misses rain Like a kick drum looking for a marching band I miss you, and I’m furious too So I shout your name till the whole block moves Come back, come back I won’t pretend I’m fine Come back, come back Before I lose my mind [Verse 2] The taqueria is closing The cook sweeps up the lime I see your face in every window For one bad second at a time The ocean keeps its distance Under a copper afternoon I came here to outrun your memory It beat me to the room [Pre-Chorus] I’ve got sand in my shoes And your voicemail on repeat Every word cuts through the traffic Every silence skips a beat [Chorus] I miss you like a siren misses rain Like a kick drum looking for a marching band I miss you, and I’m furious too So I shout your name till the whole block moves Come back, come back I won’t pretend I’m fine Come back, come back Before I lose my mind [Bridge] If you’re somewhere past the county line If you’re sleeping through the heat Know I’m still outside your doorway With a heart that won’t retreat No clean ending, no goodbye No lesson I can use Just this stubborn little heartbeat Still choosing you [Breakdown] Who do we miss? You! Who do we call? You! Who keeps the fire in the walls? You! [Final Chorus] I miss you like a siren misses rain Like a kick drum looking for a marching band I miss you, and I’m furious too So I shout your name till the whole block moves Come back, come back I won’t pretend I’m fine Come back, come back Before I lose my mind [Outro] Hey! Hey! Your jacket’s still by the door I still reach for it I still reach for it I still reach for you
