Come Back Slowly

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the window A blue ring cooling on the wood I kept the note beside the keys Though I knew I never should [Pre-Chorus] Every little thing remains Too ordinary to explain [Chorus] If you come back, come back slowly There’s a place I never moved If you call me, call me honestly I’ll know what to do I’m not waiting for forever I’m just leaving one light on If you come back, come back slowly We can see what we became [Verse 2] The landlord painted over numbers The hallway smells of rain and dust I found your photograph last Sunday Folded in a paperback crust [Pre-Chorus] Some goodbyes don’t close a door They teach you what the door was for [Chorus] If you come back, come back slowly There’s a place I never moved If you call me, call me honestly I’ll know what to do I’m not waiting for forever I’m just leaving one light on If you come back, come back slowly We can see what we became [Bridge] Maybe we were young and frightened Maybe timing took its share But if your hand is still reaching Mine is waiting there [Final Chorus] If you come back, come back slowly Let the old words fall away If you call me, call me honestly I won’t turn away I’m not asking for forever Just a chance to start again If you come back, come back slowly We can learn each other’s names [Outro] Come back slowly Come back slowly We can see what we became
