The Blue Coat

Sanoitukset

[Verse 1] You left your blue coat on my kitchen chair Like you were coming back for it I moved it twice, then put it there Beside the keys you never turn [Pre-Chorus] He used to fill the room with reasons Now the door shuts soft behind him I can finally hear you breathing So tell me what you’re hiding [Chorus] Won’t you tell me that you’ll stay? Now that he’s not in the way Put your hand against my shoulder Make this promise something older Won’t you tell me that you’ll stay? Don’t let morning take you away If there’s nothing left to lose Let me be the one you choose [Verse 2] Your glass is sweating by the sink The clock is loud enough to count Every second that you think Of all the ways to turn around [Pre-Chorus] I know the shape of your excuses I know the pause before you say them But tonight I’m done with losing Before we even name it [Chorus] Won’t you tell me that you’ll stay? Now that he’s not in the way Put your hand against my shoulder Make this promise something older Won’t you tell me that you’ll stay? Don’t let morning take you away If there’s nothing left to lose Let me be the one you choose [Bridge] You don’t have to swear forever You don’t have to fix the past Just sit beside me through the silence And let this minute last [Final Chorus] Won’t you tell me that you’ll stay? Now that he’s not in the way No more waiting in the doorway No more giving love a false name Won’t you tell me that you’ll stay? Even if we’re scared to say If there’s nothing left to lose Let me be the one you choose [Outro] Your blue coat stays upon the chair This time, I know you’re still there
