[Verse 1] Your blue cup’s still beside the sink A paper note beneath the keys You wrote “be back before it rains” The clouds came in; you didn’t leave I kept the hallway light on low Though morning found the switch untouched I tell my friends I’m doing fine Then save your seat without a thought [Pre-Chorus] The little things keep giving you away Your jacket hook, the dent beside the frame I thought that time would sort the truth from pride But every quiet hour takes your side [Chorus] Come back around, if you still know the road Past the corner shop, past the house we used to know Come back around, I won’t ask you to explain Just leave your blue cup where you left it in the rain Come back around, when the long day lets you breathe There’s a place beside the table, there’s a key beneath the sleeve Come back around, if you’ve got nowhere to go I’ll be right here, taking it slow [Verse 2] I found your list inside a book Three groceries and a movie title I bought the pears you always chose They softened on the kitchen table Your brother called; I let it ring Then called him back and said we’re good He asked me if I’d changed the locks I said I never thought I would [Pre-Chorus] The little things keep giving you away Your jacket hook, the dent beside the frame I thought that time would sort the truth from pride But every quiet hour takes your side [Chorus] Come back around, if you still know the road Past the corner shop, past the house we used to know Come back around, I won’t ask you to explain Just leave your blue cup where you left it in the rain Come back around, when the long day lets you breathe There’s a place beside the table, there’s a key beneath the sleeve Come back around, if you’ve got nowhere to go I’ll be right here, taking it slow [Bridge] No grand apology could fix the days we lost No perfect sentence could undo the cost But if you knock, I’ll meet you at the door Not who we were, just willing to try once more [Final Chorus] Come back around, if you still know the road Past the corner shop, past the house we used to know Come back around, you don’t have to explain Set your blue cup by the window; let the clouds bring rain Come back around, when the long day lets you breathe There’s a place beside the table, there’s a key beneath the sleeve Come back around, if you’ve got nowhere to go I’ll be right here, taking it slow [Outro] Your blue cup by the sink I leave it where you left it
