[Verse 1] Coffee ring on my notebook Sun is high But I’m still slow Morning came and kinda broke me Lost my place in the overflow Clock keeps talking like it knows me Pages sigh They’re half undone I left my heart in that first draft Guess the day ain’t really begun [Chorus] So I’m going back this afternoon To finish what I started with you All that half-spun Half-sung truth I ain’t leavin’ it in pieces I’m goin’ back this afternoon To chase down every wayward line ‘Cause this work It’s how I prove I can love and stay this time (oh yeah) [Verse 2] My friends call “Man It’s Friday” Say the bar’s already full But I keep seeing that deadline Like a face I couldn’t pull You deserve more than my maybe More than “baby I’ll be there soon” So I straighten up these pages Like I’m straightening up my room [Chorus] So I’m going back this afternoon To finish what I started with you All that half-spun Half-sung truth I ain’t leavin’ it in pieces I’m goin’ back this afternoon To chase down every wayward line ‘Cause this work It’s how I prove I can love and stay this time [Bridge] Every crossed-out word Every “later” I said Stacks up like dishes In the sink of my head But I’m rollin’ up my sleeves I’m comin’ through If I can finish this work I can finish with you (hey!) [Chorus] So I’m going back this afternoon To finish what I started with you All that half-spun Half-sung truth I ain’t leavin’ it in pieces I’m goin’ back this afternoon Yeah My name’s written in the margin too ‘Cause this work It’s how I prove That my love can follow through [Outro] Coffee ring on my notebook Sun is low The day near done But the lines are finally breathing And I ain’t the man who runs
