Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your blue jacket on my kitchen chair One loose thread caught in the morning air I folded the sleeves like you might come back Then put it beside the keys in the little black tray [Pre-Chorus] I keep finding small reasons To walk past that room But the house knows the difference Between waiting and you [Chorus] If you come by, come honest No borrowed words, no practiced smile I can meet you at the doorway But I can't carry us another mile If you come by, come honest Tell me what you couldn't say I would rather lose the answer Than keep losing every day [Verse 2] The coffee shop changed the table by the glass Your name still lives in the order on my card I heard our old joke from a stranger in line And laughed for a second before I remembered why [Pre-Chorus] There are things worth mending And things that just bend I don't need a promise I need to know where this ends [Chorus] If you come by, come honest No borrowed words, no practiced smile I can meet you at the doorway But I can't carry us another mile If you come by, come honest Tell me what you couldn't say I would rather lose the answer Than keep losing every day [Bridge] Maybe love is not the keeping Maybe love is letting truth arrive Put your hand on the old blue jacket Say goodbye, or say you want to try [Final Chorus] If you come by, come honest Leave the past outside the door I can meet you in the middle But I won't disappear anymore If you come by, come honest Whatever you decide to say I will finally hear the answer And let tomorrow have its way [Outro] The keys are in the little black tray The room is quiet either way
