[Verse 1]
I've been watchin' every pair of headlights
Since they said you'd crossed the county line
Got our old umbrella over my shoulder
And your last text runnin' through my mind
People pass and ask if I'm alright
I just smile and say I'm waitin' on you
The rain keeps fallin', but I don't mind
I've got nothin' better to do
[Pre-Chorus]
I can almost hear your footsteps
Almost feel your hand in mine
But every minute feels a little longer
Than the one before this time
[Chorus]
Baby, come for me
Just come for me tonight
I don't care where you've been
Or what you're tryin' to hide
You don't have to carry all that hurt
You don't have to fight alone
I'd rather live inside a broke-down car with you
Than a mansion on my own
Baby, come for me
Please don't turn away
Even if you never show
I'll stay here anyway
[Verse 2]
You said you were with your sick aunt
But I knew there was more to the story
I knew that look behind your smile
Like a storm cloud hidin' all your worry
I never needed perfect from you
Never asked you to be someone new
I just wanted all your broken pieces
And the chance to carry some of them too
[Pre-Chorus]
I can almost hear your footsteps
Almost feel your hand in mine
But every minute feels a little longer
Than the one before this time
[Chorus]
Baby, come for me
Just come for me tonight
I don't care where you've been
Or what you're tryin' to hide
You don't have to carry all that hurt
You don't have to fight alone
I'd rather live inside a broke-down car with you
Than a mansion on my own
Baby, come for me
Please don't turn away
Even if you never show
I'll stay here anyway
[Bridge]
And I know you're somewhere drinkin' whiskey
Tellin' yourself it's for my good
Convincin' yourself I'd be happier
If you disappeared for good
But you don't get to make that choice for me
You don't get to decide my heart
If you're runnin' 'cause you're scared you'll break us
Then you're breakin' us apart
[Pre-Chorus]
I can almost hear your footsteps
Almost feel your hand in mine
But every minute feels a little longer
Than the one before this time
[Final Chorus]
Baby, come for me
Let tomorrow wait its turn
If you've got secrets, bring 'em with you
We'll face every one and let 'em burn
Together we can cross the darkness
Together we can find our way
And if you're too afraid to come tonight
Then I'll be here till break of day
Baby, come for me
That's all I've got to say
And even when the morning comes
I'll stay here anyway
[Outro]
The buses stopped an hour ago
The town's gone quiet in the rain
But every time I see headlights
I look up all the same
Maybe you're not comin'
Maybe you've already gone away
But I'll be here beneath this umbrella
Just in case you change your mind today.
