Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the window The handle turned toward your chair I kept the porch light burning Like you might still find me there The old screen door keeps on talking Every time the evening moves And I wear out the same two roads Trying not to think of you [Chorus] If I could hold back that train I’d bring you home through the rain But some goodbyes leave a mark That won’t wash away in the dark I’m learning how to stand With an empty place beside my hand Still calling your name Still loving you just the same [Verse 2] Your blue coat hangs in the hallway With a ticket in the pocket seam I found it late last Sunday And woke up inside a dream There’s a letter on the table That I never had the nerve to send It says I should have told you You were more than just my friend [Chorus] If I could hold back that train I’d bring you home through the rain But some goodbyes leave a mark That won’t wash away in the dark I’m learning how to stand With an empty place beside my hand Still calling your name Still loving you just the same [Bridge] Maybe time is a quiet river Maybe hearts learn how to bend I can’t change the words I swallowed I can only let them end So if you hear this from a distance Wherever your road may run Know I kept the door wide open Even after you were gone [Final Chorus] If I could hold back that train I’d bring you home through the rain But some goodbyes leave a mark That won’t wash away in the dark I’m learning how to stand With an empty place beside my hand Still calling your name Still loving you just the same [Outro] Still loving you just the same Still loving you just the same
