Lyrics
[Verse 1] I found your letter underneath the kitchen drawer Folded by the recipe we never made before Your coffee cup is waiting by the windowpane I keep reaching for it, then i remember your name [Pre-Chorus] The old screen door still complains when the evening settles in Every room knows what we lost, every wall remembers when [Chorus] Come back if you can, i’m still leaving on the porch light Come back if you can, i’m still waking in the same night I was proud, i was wrong, i let silence do the talking Now this house is much too big for one heart to keep on walking [Verse 2] There’s red clay on the tires from the road beyond the mill The radio plays softly, but the whole world’s standing still I drove past miller’s field where we watched the harvest burn Some roads only teach you what you should have learned [Pre-Chorus] I hear your laugh in the hallway when the pipes begin to knock Then the clock cuts through the quiet like a hammer on a lock [Chorus] Come back if you can, i’m still leaving on the porch light Come back if you can, i’m still waking in the same night I was proud, i was wrong, i let silence do the talking Now this house is much too big for one heart to keep on walking [Bridge] If forgiveness has a doorway, i’ll be standing there alone With the keys inside my pocket and your picture by the phone I can’t change the miles between us, i can’t bargain with the past But i can tell you i still love you, and i mean it this time at last [Final chorus] Come back if you can, i’m still leaving on the porch light Come back if you can, i’m still waking in the same night I was proud, i was wrong, i let silence do the talking Now this house is much too big for one heart to keep on walking [Outro] The coffee cup is waiting, though the morning’s turning gray I’ll leave the porch light burning till you find your way
