[Verse 1] Your coat's still hanging by the door I said I'd bring it back before The first snow, then the second rain Now spring's come round and it's still the same I type, "I found it, want it back?" Watch the cursor blink to black I don't press send; I know it's true I only want an excuse to talk to you [Chorus — Sweet Clean Vocals] I'm on the edge of calling you The room turns cold, the screen turns blue I'd say I only needed you We both know that isn't true One word could open up that door But I won't make you hurt once more [Verse 2] I drove the road beside your place And slowed down when I saw your gate I blamed the GPS, the rain Like either one could take the blame The porch was dark, your car was gone I sat until the song was done Then drove back home before the dawn And hated that I'd hoped you'd come [Chorus — Sweet Clean Vocals] I'm on the edge of calling you The room turns cold, the screen turns blue I'd say I only needed you We both know that isn't true One word could open up that door But I won't make you hurt once more [Bridge — Soft Clean Vocals] I tell myself I didn't call As if that means I've done what's right But silence isn't innocence If I'm still rehearsing you tonight I don't get to ask you back Just 'cause I hate the empty space I made the mess, you paid the cost I can't keep calling that being lost [Bridge — Female Screams] I DON'T GET TO MISS YOU AND CALL IT MAKING THINGS RIGHT I DON'T GET TO BREAK YOU JUST TO SLEEP ALONE TONIGHT I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'D DO IF I COULD GET MY HANDS ON YOU SO I'LL STAY HERE WITH THE THINGS I'VE DONE AND LET THE NIGHT OUTLAST THE SUN [Final Chorus — Sweet Clean Vocals + Screamed Backing Vocals] I'm on the edge of calling you The room turns cold, the screen turns blue I'd say I only needed you We both know that isn't true One word could open up that door But I won't make you hurt once more [Outro — Soft Female Vocals] I delete the draft, the screen goes black I leave your coat. I don't turn back.
