[Instrumental Intro, four bars, warm electric piano and muted guitar] [Verse 1, close intimate female vocal] You left your watch beside my bed Came back Sunday afternoon We stood talking in the hallway Like you didn’t have to leave so soon You asked if I had been sleeping I said, “Most nights, I suppose” Then you touched the side of my face And I forgot what I know [Pre-Chorus, deep bass enters] You know exactly how to find me You know I still let you in We never say what’s happening We just let it happen again [Chorus, controlled modern R&B groove] You love me enough to come back Never enough to stay Enough to miss me when you’re lonely Not enough to choose me every day I keep calling this love You keep calling it a mistake You love me enough to come back Never enough to stay [Verse 2, beat continues, vocal slightly firmer] Your coffee’s cold beside the window You’re buttoning your shirt You say, “We shouldn’t keep on doing this” As if saying it first makes it hurt less You kiss my forehead at the doorway Like you don’t know what that does I watch you walk down to your car And hate how much I still want us [Pre-Chorus] I know the sound of that front door I know the silence after you I swear that I won’t answer Then I always do [Chorus, fuller harmony and percussion] You love me enough to come back Never enough to stay Enough to miss me when you’re lonely Not enough to choose me every day I keep calling this love You keep calling it a mistake You love me enough to come back Never enough to stay [Short Instrumental Break, muted guitar motif] [Bridge, drums drop out, nearly dry vocal] So take the watch Take the key Take every reason to come back to me I can’t keep mistaking your return For what I need it to mean [Final Chorus, fullest arrangement, emotional but controlled] You love me enough to come back Never enough to stay Enough to miss me when you’re lonely Not enough to choose me every day I won’t keep calling it love While you keep calling it a mistake You love me enough to come back Never enough to stay [Instrumental Outro, electric piano and muted guitar, no vocals or ad-libs]
