Your Coat Is Still Behind the

Lyrics

Verse 1
Your coat is still behind the door
One sleeve turned inside out
I keep the kettle cold at night
Like you might come around

Pre-Chorus
I know the shape of leaving
I watched you take the stairs
But every room keeps holding
The outline that you wore

Chorus
If I call, will you answer at all?
I’m still here with the words I couldn’t say
If I break, let it happen slowly
I don’t know how to put you away

Verse 2
The church bells count the afternoon
Through rain against the glass
I read your note beside the sink
Then fold it once, then twice

Pre-Chorus
I tell myself it’s over
My hands don’t understand
They reach across the empty bed
And close on nothing there

Chorus
If I call, will you answer at all?
I’m still here with the words I couldn’t say
If I break, let it happen slowly
I don’t know how to put you away

Bridge
Maybe love can leave a room
And still remain inside it
Maybe I can learn to sleep
Without asking where you are

Final Chorus
If I call, will you answer at all?
I’m still here, but the words are wearing thin
If I break, let it happen slowly
I don’t know where you end and I begin

Outro
Your coat is still behind the door
I leave it where it is
