[Verse 1]
Your blue suitcase waited by the door
While winter gathered underneath the floor
We said the miles were only temporary
Then stopped knowing what we were carrying
I kept your letters in a kitchen drawer
Read them when the apartment felt too small
Two different calendars, one old promise
Both of us afraid to be honest
[Pre-Chorus]
Years moved on without asking why
I learned your face from photographs online
Then your name appeared on my phone
And suddenly I wasn't alone
[Chorus]
Come back, we have time to recover
All the quiet we lost with each other
No more counting the days from afar
No more wondering where you are
If your hand still fits inside mine
We'll make up for every missed night
Not by pretending the hurt disappeared
But by staying when the past comes near
[Verse 2]
We met beside the old train station
You wore the coat from our last vacation
There were silver threads along your collar
And a thousand things I couldn't utter
You told me about the years I missed
The borrowed rooms, the birthdays, the risks
I told you every road I wandered
Still curved toward the life we squandered
[Pre-Chorus]
We didn't promise a perfect start
Just an open door and an honest heart
No grand speech, no borrowed line
You said, "Take my hand if you're ready this time"
[Chorus]
Come back, we have time to recover
All the quiet we lost with each other
No more counting the days from afar
No more wondering where you are
If your hand still fits inside mine
We'll make up for every missed night
Not by pretending the hurt disappeared
But by staying when the past comes near
[Bridge]
We'll learn the shape of ordinary days
Grocery lists and familiar mistakes
Your shoes beside mine in the hallway
Coffee going cold while we talk all day
The years won't return, that's true
But I can spend what's left with you
[Final Chorus]
Come back, we have time to recover
Let the future be kinder than summer
When we watched our chances depart
Now we're rebuilding one room, one heart
If your hand still fits inside mine
We'll make up for every missed night
Not by erasing the road that led here
But by loving through every year
[Outro]
Your blue suitcase rests by the door
This time, you aren't leaving anymore
