[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the window Still warm against the morning rain I traced the ring it left behind Like a map back to your name The hallway holds the shape of footsteps The door remembers how you turned I keep the light above the table For every lesson never learned [Pre-Chorus] If I call, will you answer slowly? If I wait, will the distance bend? [Chorus] Come back through the open doorway Come back before the silence grows I have kept the words between us Where only you and I would know Come back, let the old walls hear us Come back, let the hard years end I’m still standing by the window Waiting for the world to turn again [Verse 2] Your blue coat hangs beside the stairwell A little dust along the sleeve I never moved it from its place I never learned to make-believe The kettle clicks, the room goes quiet A train rolls somewhere past the hill I write your address on an envelope Then hold it by the windowsill [Pre-Chorus] If I call, will you answer slowly? If I wait, will the distance bend? [Chorus] Come back through the open doorway Come back before the silence grows I have kept the words between us Where only you and I would know Come back, let the old walls hear us Come back, let the hard years end I’m still standing by the window Waiting for the world to turn again [Bridge] Maybe love is not a promise Maybe love is what remains When the room is stripped of answers And the heart still says your name [Final Chorus] Come back through the open doorway Come back before the silence grows I have kept the words between us Where only you and I would know Come back, let the old walls hear us Come back, let the hard years end I’m still standing by the window Waiting for the world to turn again [Outro] I’m still standing by the window Waiting for the world to turn again
