Velvet on My Sleeve

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your boots by the door Still got red clay on them I set one glass down Like you might come home Your note on the counter Folded in quarters Says if I wait here Maybe I won’t be alone [Pre-Chorus] I read it slow Then I read it again That little blue ink Drags me back in And I can feel That old hurt start to breathe Like a train in the dark Coming straight for me [Chorus] Come back to me Come back to me I’ve got your name Stitched in my sleeve Come back to me Come back to me Don’t leave this heart On its knees [Verse 2] The porch light’s low But the house keeps talking Every board in the floor Knows your side of the bed I pour one more coffee Let it go cold as January Try to act tough But I ain’t there yet [Pre-Chorus] If love is a fire Then mine’s still bright It burns through the dust All through the night And I’d cross that hard road If you’d meet me halfway Just say my name And I’ll be there today [Chorus] Come back to me Come back to me I’ve got your name Stitched in my sleeve Come back to me Come back to me Don’t leave this heart On its knees [Bridge] Maybe I was stubborn Maybe you got scared Maybe we both said things That we can’t take back But this bed feels wider Than this old town road And I still see forever In the life we knew we had [Final Chorus] Come back to me Come back to me I’ve got your name Stitched in my sleeve Come back to me Come back to me I’ll open the door If you still believe Come back to me Come back to me Don’t leave this heart On its knees
