Midnight Circuit

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your jacket on my chair Rainwater darkened every seam I found your train receipt in there A one-way ticket from seventeen I kept the paper by the sink Beside the cup you used that night I read the time and tried to think Of one good reason to not write [Pre-Chorus] But every answer turns to smoke The moment that I say your name I’m standing at the station gate Still waiting for a different train [Chorus] Don’t call me when the morning comes Don’t call me when the room gets cold I’m cutting through the undertow To find the parts you couldn’t hold If you see me, let me go I’m not the place you left behind The door is open, wheels are turning I’m taking back this borrowed time [Verse 2] Your photograph was in the book Between the pages marked in blue I saw the way you used to look Before the leaving changed you too The kettle clicked, the house went still A bus rolled past the window frame I said your name against my will Then let the silence take the blame [Pre-Chorus] No more rehearsing what I’d say No more defending what went wrong I’m done mistaking empty rooms For somewhere I still belong [Chorus] Don’t call me when the morning comes Don’t call me when the room gets cold I’m cutting through the undertow To find the parts you couldn’t hold If you see me, let me go I’m not the place you left behind The door is open, wheels are turning I’m taking back this borrowed time [Bridge] I changed the lock, I cleared the shelf I stopped explaining you to me There’s nothing left to rescue here Except the person I can be [Final Chorus] Don’t call me when the morning comes Don’t call me when the room gets cold I’m cutting through the undertow To find the parts you couldn’t hold If you see me, let me go I’m not the place you left behind The door is open, wheels are turning I’m taking back this borrowed time [Outro] Wheels are turning I’m taking back this borrowed time
