Still Can’t Get To You

[Verse 1]
I know the crack in your front porch step
Where you twisted your ankle that first fall
I know the squeak in the hallway floor
Every picture on your bedroom wall
I know where your mama keeps the mail
How your daddy backs his truck in tight
I know that you leave your blinds half closed
When you’re scared of the night
[Chorus]
But I still can’t get to you
Know your house like the back of my hand
But your heart’s like another land
I’m right here on your old drive-through
I can name every room that you’re in
But I can’t find the door to get in
Yeah, I know your home like I always used to
But I still can’t
Still can’t get to you
[Verse 2]
You (f): I see your boots on my welcome mat
Same old mud from the same old farm
I smell that cedar on your shirt
Feel the distance in your arms
You (m): I know the song that makes you laugh
You (f): And the fight that made me stay
Both: We can walk this place with our eyes closed
But we’ve lost the way
[Chorus]
Both: But I still can’t get to you
Know your house like the back of my hand
But your heart’s like another land
I’m right here on your old drive-through
I can name every room that you’re in
But I can’t find the door to get in
Yeah, I know your home like I always used to
But I still can’t
Still can’t get to you
[Bridge]
(m): Maybe we changed and the walls just shifted
(f): Maybe our love’s in a box we lifted
Both: To the attic, locked and out of our view
(m): I’m standing here on your faded rug
(f): Holding on to a worn-out us
Both: I know this place
But I can’t reach you
[Chorus]
Both: I still can’t get to you
Know your house like the back of my hand
But your heart’s like another land
I’m right here on your old drive-through
I can name every room that you’re in
But I can’t find the door to get in
Yeah, I know your home like I always used to
But I still can’t
Still can’t get to you
Both (soft): I know your home
But I can’t get to you

country, Warm modern country ballad with intertwining male and female vocals; gentle picked acoustic and brushed drums in the verses, pedal steel and piano blooming in the chorus. Duet lines trade perspective, then lock into tight harmonies on the hook. Build from intimate, almost whispered delivery into a soaring, emotional final chorus, with a soft tambourine lift and a lingering steel guitar tail., soft
