Lingering Light

I left the window open

Just to hear the rain come in (mm-mm)

Your coffee cup is still beside the bed

I wash it twice,

but keep the mark you left

I make a joke when friends ask how I am

Then drive back home with both hands shaking

I almost call, then let it fade again (mm)

If missing you was weather

I'd be soaked through every night

I keep saying I'm better

But I still turn toward your side (ah-ah)

I still save a place for you

In every room I walk into

Say you're gone, but I know the truth

My heart keeps leaning back to you

So if you feel it too

Come through (ooh)

I learned the shape of silence after you

The couch, the hall,

the records out of tune

I tell myself the door is only wood

But every knock still feels like maybe

Maybe you'll stand there smiling (yeah)

Maybe love is just a room

Where I never learned to leave

I can laugh until it hurts

But it still comes back to me (mm-mm)

I still save a place for you

In every room I walk into

Say you're gone, but I know the truth

My heart keeps leaning back to you

So if you feel it too

Come through Come through

(ooh, yeah)
