Empty Passenger Seat

Lyrics

Verse 1
Your jacket's still on my chair
Like you might walk in
Half a coffee gone cold
By the sink again
I still hear your laugh
In the hallway wall
Now the house feels bigger
And I feel small

Pre-Chorus
I tried to call
Then I hung up fast
What do you say
When the best thing won't last?
I keep your name
On the tip of my tongue
Like a song I knew
Before it came undone

Chorus
You were my home (my home)
Now it's just a hole
You were my home (my home)
And I don't know where to go
I keep your name (your name)
Like a prayer in my throat
You were my home (my home)
Now it's just a hole

Verse 2
Your old shoes by the door
Still face mine
Two sets of footprints
Frozen in time
I reached for your hand
When the room got loud
Now I laugh too hard
To keep from crying out

Pre-Chorus
I tried to call
Then I hung up fast
What do you say
When the best thing won't last?
I keep your name
On the tip of my tongue
Like a song I knew
Before it came undone

Chorus
You were my home (my home)
Now it's just a hole
You were my home (my home)
And I don't know where to go
I keep your name (your name)
Like a prayer in my throat
You were my home (my home)
Now it's just a hole

Bridge
If I see your face
In a crowded room
Will my heart run to you
Like it used to do?
I hate this quiet
I hate this ache
I keep the light on
For your shadow's sake

Final Chorus
You were my home (my home)
Now it's just a hole
You were my home (my home)
And I don't know where to go
I keep your name (your name)
Like a prayer in my throat
You were my home (my home)
Now it's just a hole
You were my home (my home)
Come back in my soul
