[Intro]
Cold coffee trembling beside the sink
You say my name, I forget to blink
[Verse 1]
I took the long way past the shuttered store
Keys in my fist, still asking what for
Your last message folded in my coat
Three little words that never stay afloat
I talk too fast when the room goes still
Make a bad promise, break it for the thrill
You know the look, that crooked half-smile
Like you already knew I'd disappear a while
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't pull me close if you're leaving by dawn
Don't make a home out of something half-gone
[Chorus]
I keep one foot out the doorway
One hand reaching for you
Say I'm fine in the wrong way
Till the lie almost turns true
If I fall, let the floor know
If I run, let me run loose
You can hear it in the low note
I'm still trying to get back to you
[Verse 2]
Rain on the railing, rust on the chain
Your old blue jacket still smells like rain
I wear it nowhere, I keep it downstairs
Like a small locked room with your breath in the air
My friends say sleep, but the morning comes sharp
I count every car that cuts through the dark
Then I laugh at a joke nobody made
Turn the whole night into something I can blame
[Bridge]
Maybe I wanted the hurt to stay loud
Maybe the silence was wearing me down
If you come back, don't knock, just wait
I'll be the one on the other side of the gate
[Chorus]
I keep one foot out the doorway
One hand reaching for you
Say I'm fine in the wrong way
Till the lie almost turns true
If I fall, let the floor know
If I run, let me run loose
You can hear it in the low note
I'm still trying to get back to you
[Outro]
Cold coffee cooling beside the sink
You say my name, I forget to blink
One foot out, but I don't move
One hand reaching—still reaching for you
