Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the window Half a ring still marks the wood I read the note beside the sugar Though I knew it never could The porch swing moves without you One loose chain against the frame I keep the radio turned lower So it won't say your name [Chorus] I won't call you back tonight I won't ask where you've been But every room keeps turning toward you Like the house still lets you in [Verse 2] Your blue coat hangs behind the doorway With the rain dried at the seam I took it down, then put it back there Some things don't leave when people leave The dog still waits beside the gravel At the hour your truck came through I tell him softly, go on home now But I don't know where home is without you [Chorus] I won't call you back tonight I won't ask where you've been But every room keeps turning toward you Like the house still lets you in [Bridge] If love is just a long goodbye Then I've been saying it for years I can hold my head up in the daylight But midnight has a way of making truth appear [Final Chorus] I won't call you back tonight Though my hands still reach for the phone Every road runs past your memory And every mile says I'm alone I won't call you back tonight But I can't swear what morning brings Some hearts break quiet as a church bell Some keep beating through everything [Outro] Some keep beating through everything Some keep beating through everything
