Lyrics
[Verse 1] I folded up your letters Shoved them in the second drawer Said your name out loud Till it didn’t sound like yours anymore I stopped checking every corner Of this too-small town Taught my hands to pour one glass And just sit down [Chorus] You came back when I stopped waiting When my heart finally missed a beat I’d just learned the art of aching Quietly Alone In the passenger seat You came back like it was nothing Like the clock had never moved You came back when I stopped waiting Now what am I supposed to do [Verse 2] Your shoes by the doorway Like they never really left You’re laughing in the kitchen At some joke from years we wrecked I practiced all my anger In the mirror In the dark But the minute that I saw you It just crumbled in my arms (oh) [Chorus] You came back when I stopped waiting When your ghost finally lost its shape I’d just filled the quiet spaces With new plans New friends New mistakes You came back like it was easy Like you always knew the route You came back when I stopped waiting Now I’m the one who’s walking out
