Take That Night Apart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your coffee’s cold beside the sink The porch light’s burning out again You left your jacket on the chair Like you might walk back in I found your note beneath the keys Half a sentence, torn in two I keep pretending I’m alright Then reach for you [Pre-Chorus] I said the words too late You heard them as I turned away [Chorus] If I could take that night apart I’d pull the anger from the room I’d trade the last thing that I said For one more afternoon with you I’m still right here, I’m still the same With every promise coming due If I could take that night apart I’d spend it telling you the truth [Verse 2] Your brother called from out of town He asked if I was doing fine I watched the kettle come to boil And let it scream awhile The dog still waits beside the gate At half past five like clockwork does I never knew a house could hold So much of us [Pre-Chorus] I said the words too late You heard them as I turned away [Chorus] If I could take that night apart I’d pull the anger from the room I’d trade the last thing that I said For one more afternoon with you I’m still right here, I’m still the same With every promise coming due If I could take that night apart I’d spend it telling you the truth [Bridge] No grand excuse, no easy fix Just my name beside the blame I should have stayed and let you speak Instead of making you explain [Final Chorus] If I could take that night apart I’d pull the anger from the room I’d trade the last thing that I said For one more afternoon with you I’m still right here, I’m still the same With every promise coming due If I could take that night apart I’d spend it telling you the truth [Outro] I’d spend it telling you the truth
