[Verse 1: Power duet, male lead] Six in the morning and the runway lights go out I hand my badge in at the window and I drive the long way round Key in the door so quiet that the dog don't even stir Coffee pot still ticking and a note in your handwriting there [Verse 1: Power duet, female lead] Five in the morning and I'm tying up my boots Orange vest and the stop sign and a kiss on your pillow too I pass your headlights coming as I'm pulling to the street Two cars on the same road going different ways to sleep [Chorus: Power duet, trading lines, full force] Your side's still warm when I get in I know you by the heat you leave on the sheet Four years of passing in the doorway of our life I love you in the hours that we never meet [Verse 2: Power duet, male lead] I read your notes like letters from a girl across the sea Buy milk, call your mother, there's a plate inside for me I write back on the other side, I miss the way you laugh I fall asleep at noon and dream the other half [Verse 2: Power duet, female lead] I know your shoes are by the door because they're still damp I know you worked a double by the coffee in the cup I've been married to a heartbeat and a dent inside a bed And a man I see on Sundays with a kiss on the forehead [Chorus: Power duet, trading lines, full force] Your side's still warm when I get in I know you by the heat you leave on the sheet Four years of passing in the doorway of our life I love you in the hours that we never meet [Verse 3: Power duet, female lead then male lead] I bought a second alarm clock just to hear the one you set I keep your work shirt on the hook so I don't lose you yet I leave the hall light burning so you never come home blind I leave the coffee on for you and a note I underlined [Bridge: Power duet, male lead then female lead] Monday night I called the airport, told 'em I was sick Monday night I called the school and said I'd take a pick Seven in the morning, Tuesday, standing in the hall Him with flowers, her with pancakes, and the whole house stalls [Final Chorus: Power duet, shared line, singing together for the first time] Your side's still warm when I get in I know you by the heat you leave on the sheet Four years of passing in the doorway of our life I love you in the hours that we never meet [Outro: Power duet, together] Seven in the morning and we are both awake Coffee for two and the whole day is ours to take Let the runway wait, let the children cross alone For one Tuesday in a lifetime, the both of us are home [End]
