Half-Eaten Rain

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your coat still hangs by the door Like you might come back for more I leave the porch light on Then watch it fade with dawn Your coffee cup is chipped I still turn it in my hand Like if I hold it long enough I’ll understand [Pre-Chorus] But the house keeps saying You’re not here Every room I cross Gets too clear [Chorus] Half-eaten rain Still on the pane I keep your name Like a bruise in my brain Half-eaten rain Won’t wash you away You’re gone, but the shape Still stays [Verse 2] I folded your old gray shirt Put it deep in the drawer The fabric still knows your shape Like it did before I hear your laugh in the hall Then it slips through my hands And I hate how the quiet Still makes me stand [Pre-Chorus] But the house keeps saying You’re not here Every little thing Cuts too clear [Chorus] Half-eaten rain Still on the pane I keep your name Like a bruise in my brain Half-eaten rain Won’t wash you away You’re gone, but the shape Still stays [Bridge] If I open the door Will the night give you back? If I say it out loud Will it split the crack? I’ve been learning your absence Like a song with one note And it follows me home Wherever I go [Final Chorus] Half-eaten rain Still on the pane I keep your name Like a bruise in my brain Half-eaten rain Won’t wash you away You’re gone, but the shape Still stays Half-eaten rain Still on the pane I say your name Then I let it break Half-eaten rain I’m learning the ache You’re gone, but the shape Still stays
