เนื้อเพลง

[Verse 1] You left your blue cup by the sink The chipped one with the painted sail I held it while the kettle cooled And read your note beneath the mail [Pre-Chorus] I had a dozen things to say But let the quiet take your place [Chorus] If I could meet you at the doorway I’d leave my pride out in the rain I’d tell you I was wrong to turn away And ask if we could start again No grand excuse, no perfect line Just me, still learning how to try [Verse 2] The garden box is full of thyme You planted it along the wall I thought the frost had taken everything Then green came up in early fall [Pre-Chorus] Some things survive the longest winter Some words arrive a little late [Chorus] If I could meet you at the doorway I’d leave my pride out in the rain I’d tell you I was wrong to turn away And ask if we could start again No grand excuse, no perfect line Just me, still learning how to try [Bridge] I won’t ask you to forget Or make the hurt seem small I only want to own my part And hear you, if you’ll call [Final Chorus] If I could meet you at the doorway I’d bring the truth and let it stand I’d tell you I was wrong to turn away And leave the next step in your hands No grand excuse, no perfect line Just me, still learning how to try [Outro] The blue cup waits beside the sink I’ll leave the light on by the door
