Blue Checkered Shirt

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I left your blue checkered shirt on the hook by the door Took the long way home like I’ve done before Your name on my screen keeps me hanging on But this little town feels a mile too long [Pre-Chorus] And every freight train sounds like your goodbye Every empty diner booth gets a little too quiet I keep your last kiss like a prayer in my chest Tell me we’re still us when you can’t hold me yet [Chorus] Far apart, still yours (still yours) Far apart, still yours (still yours) One more night, one more call til I can fall into your arms Far apart, still yours (still yours) [Verse 2] You got that apartment with the cracked front step I got a porch light that won’t quit yet We count down the miles like beads on a string Every lonely weekend is a stubborn thing [Pre-Chorus] And every freight train sounds like your goodbye Every empty diner booth gets a little too quiet I keep your last kiss like a prayer in my chest Tell me we’re still us when you can’t hold me yet [Chorus] Far apart, still yours (still yours) Far apart, still yours (still yours) One more night, one more call til I can fall into your arms Far apart, still yours (still yours) [Bridge] If the moon’s on your side send it my way If the rain’s on my roof I’ll let it say We’ve got time we’ve got miles but we’ve got a love that still stays alive [Final Chorus] Far apart, still yours (still yours) Far apart, still yours (still yours) One more night, one more call til I can fall into your arms Far apart, still yours (still yours) Far apart, still yours (still yours)
