Come Back Slowly

Şarkı Sözleri

[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the window Still warm beside the folded mail I read the headline twice this morning Then watched the little ships set sail [Pre-Chorus] I kept the key beneath the flowerpot I kept the room exactly how you left it [Chorus] If you come back, come back slowly There’s a chair pulled out for you No grand speech and no apology Just tell me what is true If you come back, come back slowly Let the quiet make its way I’ve been learning how to hold on Without asking you to stay [Verse 2] The grocery list is on the fridge door Three apples, soap, and something sweet I crossed your name out by the tomatoes Then put it back beneath the street [Pre-Chorus] Some promises are better spoken softly Some doors are meant to open when they’re ready [Chorus] If you come back, come back slowly There’s a chair pulled out for you No grand speech and no apology Just tell me what is true If you come back, come back slowly Let the quiet make its way I’ve been learning how to hold on Without asking you to stay [Bridge] And if the answer isn’t staying I’ll still bless the road you take Love can leave a light behind it Even when the hands let go [Final Chorus] If you come back, come back slowly There’s a chair pulled out for you No grand speech and no apology Just tell me what is true If you come back, come back slowly I’ll meet you where we are Not with everything repaired yet But with both hands on my heart [Outro] Come back slowly Or don’t come back at all I’ll leave the porch light burning Until the last train calls
