Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left the coffee cold In the dented tin Your coat on the chair Like you might come in The screen door hangs And it taps the frame I keep the porch light off Just to hear your name [Pre-Chorus] I tried to fold the night Into a smaller thing Tried to make the floorboards Stop their tired ringing And the house leans in Like it wants to know If you were ever mine Or just passing through [Chorus] Same old road Same old road I keep walking it back Same old road Same old road And it keeps me cracked [Verse 2] Your ash on the sill Your matchbook stack The phone sits dead In the hallway black I washed that mug Three times slow Still the rim tastes like Where you used to go [Pre-Chorus] I tried to hold my breath Till the house went still But the pipes keep talking Through the window sill And the floor gives way In a quiet way Like it knows my name When I start to pray [Chorus] Same old road Same old road I keep walking it back Same old road Same old road And it keeps me cracked [Bridge] There was a deer in the yard At the edge of dawn Standing in the weeds Like your shadow gone I said stay To the empty air But the screen door cried And nobody was there [Chorus] Same old road Same old road I keep walking it back Same old road Same old road And it keeps me cracked [Outro] I leave the porch light off Let the dark come through If you ever turn around You’ll know where I moved
