Half My Mind

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your blue jacket still hangs by the kitchen door I reach for my keys, then remember what for The kettle clicks off, but I leave it alone Every small habit keeps calling you home [Pre-Chorus] I take the long way past the corner store Count every window, don't count anymore [Chorus] I keep my hands busy till the morning comes Fold old receipts and roll up the blinds I tell myself I'm better than I was But your name still takes up half my mind Ooh, ooh Half my mind [Verse 2] Your coffee mug waits with a hairline crack I turn it around so I don't see the black The neighbor's dog scratches twice at the gate I almost look up, expecting you late [Pre-Chorus] I take the long way past the corner store Practice a smile I don't believe anymore [Chorus] I keep my hands busy till the morning comes Fold old receipts and roll up the blinds I tell myself I'm better than I was But your name still takes up half my mind Ooh, ooh Half my mind [Bridge] Maybe healing is a room with the lights left on Maybe leaving means admitting what is gone I won't turn your goodbye into a reason to hide I'll let the quiet teach me how to live outside [Final Chorus] I keep my hands busy till the morning comes Open the curtains and let in the day I tell myself I'm better than I was And this time I almost believe what I say Ooh, ooh I'm finding my way [Outro] Your blue jacket still hangs by the kitchen door I walk right past it like I have before
