Lyrics
[Verse 1] The screen door sticks again Your truck stays in the drive Same coffee ring on pine Same winter in your eyes I count the fence posts twice To keep my hands still The wind comes through the seams Like it has something to spill [Pre-Chorus] And I keep saying I’m fine, I’m fine But the hour keeps dragging On my spine You keep looking Like you know What I already left Long ago [Chorus] Don’t call it home Don’t call it home We built this slow Then let it go Don’t call it home Don’t call it home It held our weight Then broke our bones [Verse 2] The porch light flickers once Then settles into dim Your jacket on the chair Still shaped like you were in it I hear the pickup hum Past the soybean black Everything we said Keeps coming back [Pre-Chorus] And I keep saying I’m fine, I’m fine But the hour keeps dragging On my spine You keep looking Like you know What I already left Long ago [Chorus] Don’t call it home Don’t call it home We built this slow Then let it go Don’t call it home Don’t call it home It held our weight Then broke our bones [Bridge] Late strain in the voice When the room goes thin One more line of dusk And I’m back in it The steel starts crying Under the floor I stand in the wreck You stand at the door [Chorus] Don’t call it home Don’t call it home We built this slow Then let it go Don’t call it home Don’t call it home It held our weight Then broke our bones
