You Are Only Gone Today

rock, dramatic, mid tempo (~105 BPM), synthesizer, drum machine

[Verse 1] You left your coat on the chair by the door Rain in the sleeves, keys on the floor I kept the hall light burning all night Like one small thing could make this right [Pre-Chorus] The clock kept moving, I stayed still A glass of water on the windowsill [Chorus] If you come back, come back honest No more half-truths in the dark I can take the weight between us I can't take another start If you come back, come back ready Say the words you couldn't say I won't keep this room pretending You are only gone today [Verse 2] Your old blue mug is chipped at the rim I washed it twice, then left it where it's been The morning bus groaned past our street I heard your laugh in the brakes and the steam [Pre-Chorus] I drew a line across the page Then crossed it out and turned the page [Chorus] If you come back, come back honest No more half-truths in the dark I can take the weight between us I can't take another start If you come back, come back ready Say the words you couldn't say I won't keep this room pretending You are only gone today [Bridge] I don't need a perfect promise I don't need the past erased Just the truth without a doorway Just your eyes that don't look away [Final Chorus] If you come back, come back honest No more half-truths in the dark I can take the weight between us I can't take another start If you come back, come back ready Say the words you couldn't say I won't keep this room pretending You are only gone today [Outro] The hall light's on The door is still
