Empty Room

[Verse 1] Your chair still creaks When the door swings in I set down my keys And the silence grins Your mug on the shelf Cold ring on the wood I say your name once Like I thought I should [Pre-Chorus] And I wait for a sign In the frame on the wall A little red thread That could hold up it all [Chorus] Come back, come back To this empty room Come back, come back Make it beat for two I kept your side Like you never moved Come back, come back To this empty room [Verse 2] The plant by the sink Still leans to the light I water it slow Like it knows your flight The rug by the bed Has your old foot shape I step in your ghost And I don’t escape [Pre-Chorus] And I hear you in waves By the open window A hand on my back Then the whole thing glows [Chorus] Come back, come back To this empty room Come back, come back Make it beat for two I kept your side Like you never moved Come back, come back To this empty room [Bridge] If you call, I’ll be there At the sound of your key If you don’t, I’ll still Leave the porch light free For the dust in the air For the night to prove Even broken hearts Can make a home for two [Chorus] Come back, come back To this empty room Come back, come back Make it beat for two I kept your side Like you never moved Come back, come back To this empty room
