Empty Chair Again

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your cup still sits there By the cracked blue plate I keep saying I’ll move it But I can’t today The room knows your shape In the second chair Every step makes a sound Like you’re almost there [Pre-Chorus] I open the door Then I let it fall Hope gets smaller In this house of walls [Chorus] Empty chair again Empty chair again I call your name And the wall says when Empty chair again Empty chair again I hold my breath Like it might bring you in [Verse 2] Your coat on the hook Still smells like rain I touched the sleeve And it hurt the same The clock on the stove Won’t leave me alone It ticks so loud In this borrowed home [Pre-Chorus] I open the door Then I let it fall Hope gets smaller In this house of walls [Chorus] Empty chair again Empty chair again I call your name And the wall says when Empty chair again Empty chair again I hold my breath Like it might bring you in [Bridge] If I keep the lights off Maybe time slows down Maybe the floorboards Won’t give me away But the truth sits heavy Where you used to be And I learn your silence Like a prayer I can’t say [Final Chorus] Empty chair again Empty chair again I call your name And the wall says when Empty chair again Empty chair again I hold your ghost Till the morning ends
