Come Back, Carolina

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your silver lighter by the telephone A little piece of summer in an empty home I read the note you folded underneath the cup Three careful words that said you had to give it up [Pre-Chorus] But every train that crosses town Turns my quiet room around [Chorus] Come back, Carolina, before the morning train I keep your blue scarf by the window in the rain Come back, Carolina, don’t let the story close You know the door is open, you know where my heart goes [Verse 2] The café keeps your table near the old arcade The owner says your coffee order never changed I walk past every evening, counting every chair Pretending that I’m only looking for the air [Pre-Chorus] And every song from down the hall Makes me think you’ll finally call [Chorus] Come back, Carolina, before the morning train I keep your blue scarf by the window in the rain Come back, Carolina, don’t let the story close You know the door is open, you know where my heart goes [Bridge] If you can hear me, turn around Leave the suitcase on the ground One more chance is all I need Bring your restless heart to me [Chorus] Come back, Carolina, before the morning train I keep your blue scarf by the window in the rain Come back, Carolina, don’t let the story close You know the door is open, you know where my heart goes [Outro] Carolina, come back home Carolina, you’re not alone
