The Old Room Turns Blue

Songtext

[Verse 1] You left your coat beside the door Rain in the fabric, dust on the floor I read the note you never signed Three crooked words and a warning line [Pre-Chorus] I keep the kettle on too long I count the tiles, I hum this song If you come back, don’t knock twice I’m done with doors that sound like lies [Chorus] Don’t call my name from the other side I gave you the truth, you gave me a disguise Let the old room turn cold and blue I’m not the person who waits for you [Verse 2] Your photograph slipped from the frame I found it folded beneath the change The corner’s bent, but the eyes look clear Like they knew you’d disappear [Bridge] Take the key, leave the silver chain Leave the promises out in the rain I won’t chase what chose to run I won’t mistake the dark for love [Final Chorus] Don’t call my name from the other side I gave you the truth, you gave me a disguise Let the old room turn cold and blue I’m not the person who waits for you I’m not the person who waits for you [Outro] The kettle clicks, the hallway rests Your coat is gone, and so is the question
