Stranger To Our Home

Coffee for one

Two chairs

One folded against the wall

His side of the closet

Empty hangers like they’re waiting for a call

Fourteen winters

Fourteen summers on that couch

Our names on the lease

Now it’s just my echo in this house

How do you lose a whole life in a moment

Fourteen years fall through my hands

I still reach out in the dark for your shoulder

Wake up holding nothing

Just the plans

I’m alone

Alone again

Like the world forgot my name

I had a home inside your hands

Now I’m just a stranger to our flame

Your dent in the mattress

Still leans toward the place I sleep

Your mug in the dishwasher

I can’t bring myself to let it leave

Friends try to call me

I let it ring and let it ring

‘Cause if I start talking

I might say I’d take you back for anything

How do you lose a whole life in a moment

Fourteen years fall through my hands

I still reach out in the dark for your shoulder

Wake up holding nothing

Just the plans

I’m alone

Alone again

Walking circles through our frame

I had a home inside your hands

Now I’m just a stranger to our flame

Did you pack up every promise

Fold it neatly in your bags (oh)

Were the cracks already showing

I was too in love to see the cracks

I keep calling out your first name

Just to hear it in this room

If love could be a country

Baby

I just lost my passport too

How do you lose a whole life in a moment

Fourteen years fall through my hands

I still reach out in the dark for your shoulder

Wake up holding nothing

Just the plans

I’m alone

Alone again

Lost and standing where we stayed

I had a home inside your hands

Now I’m just a stranger

Just a stranger

To the life we made
