Paper Boats

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your mug on the sink Still got tea in the ring I moved it twice, then back again Like that could make you stay Your note was folded in four On the chair by the door I read it once, then once more Till the words wore thin [Pre-Chorus] I keep the window half-open For a sound you might bring Little signs in the quiet Make my heart do that thing [Chorus] Come back, come back Say my name like that Come back, come back Don’t leave it in the past I’m still here I’m still here On the edge of your map Come back, come back Say my name like that [Verse 2] The bread got hard on the counter The fruit in the bowl turned brown I took the long way home tonight Just to keep from turning around Your key sits under the lamp Beside a cracked blue pen Small things keep you alive In the room again [Pre-Chorus] I keep the window half-open For a sound you might bring Little signs in the quiet Make my heart do that thing [Chorus] Come back, come back Say my name like that Come back, come back Don’t leave it in the past I’m still here I’m still here On the edge of your map Come back, come back Say my name like that [Bridge] If you’re lost, I’ll leave the porch on If you’re cold, I’ll keep the door warm If you’re tired of the road you’re on You can rest here, you can rest here [Final Chorus] Come back, come back Say my name like that Come back, come back Don’t leave it in the past I’m still here I’m still here With my hands open flat Come back, come back Say my name like that
