Текст песни
[Verse 1] You left your coffee by the sink A half-moon stain, a chipped blue cup I read the note beside the keys Then folded it and gave it up The hallway clock forgot to move Its second hand was trembling still I heard your car turn at the gate And let the silence have its fill [Pre-Chorus] I keep the porch light burning low Though no one takes that road anymore [Chorus] If I could hold the moment back Before the goodbye crossed your mouth I’d trade the years I tried to mend For one more night before you walked out You are the room I can’t go through The empty chair I’m talking to [Verse 2] Your winter coat is on the hook Still carrying the scent of rain I found a ticket in the pocket From a town we never reached by train The neighbors changed their garden fence The bakery closes at half past two Everything keeps becoming new Except the parts that lead to you [Pre-Chorus] I keep the porch light burning low As if a little gold could call you home [Chorus] If I could hold the moment back Before the goodbye crossed your mouth I’d trade the years I tried to mend For one more night before you walked out You are the room I can’t go through The empty chair I’m talking to [Bridge] Maybe love is not a door Maybe it’s the key left in the lock Maybe I can learn to leave Without pretending that I’m not lost [Final Chorus] If I could hold the moment back I’d hear the truth and let it land I’d keep the coffee, keep the cup And let you go with both my hands You are the room I’m walking through The empty chair I’m saying goodbye to [Outro] The porch light flickers once, then fades I close the door and keep your name
