[Verse 1]
You left your boots by the bedroom door
Dog tags swing from the rearview mirror
Baby’s chewing on your old ball cap
I play your letters through this cracked phone speaker
Friday nights
I park where the highway bends
Circle “beach houses” in a worn-out pen
Car seat in back
Half-packed suitcase
Kissing your name on the glass
Same place
[Chorus]
Come home
Come home
I’ve been saving you a sunrise
Salt on my tongue
Your hands on my tan lines
South Carolina
Sheets kicked down to our feet
Come home
Come home
Make love by the beach with me
[Verse 2]
I fall asleep in your faded tee
Smells like smoke and a midnight rain
Trace that scar running down my side
Wish it was you running down my waist
Baby monitor hums on the nightstand glow
I hit the light
Let my strap fall slow
Talking to shadows like they’re your hands
Learning new ways I can make you understand
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I’ll drive us down where the state line bends
Windows down
Taste the ocean wind
Sand in the floorboards
Sweat on your chest
Baby’s asleep
We can finally rest
[low vocal register] I’ll pull you close in that porch swing creak
Legs tangled up
Hear the harbor breathe
[whispered vocals] “Missed you
Missed you
Every damn week”
Your mouth on mine till I forget to speak
[Chorus]
