Back Door Sunrise

Coffee cup

Lipstick ring

You left your coat

Didn’t leave the key

Last night’s argument

Still on the table

Right next to bills

And a busted halo

You said

“I need

A little peace of mind”

I heard

“boy

You running out of time”

Now this quiet room

Feels loud as a train

Rolling through my chest

Calling your name

You got me waiting at the back door

Sunrise

Bare feet humming on the cold floor

Tired eyes

If you come walking up that driveway

I’ll let the past just fade away

I’m still waiting at the back door

Sunrise

For your shadow in the gold light

Neighbor’s radio

Leaking through the wall

Happy love songs

Cutting like salt

Your picture in the frame

Tilted halfway down

Just like the way

We’re hanging around

I pour two cups

Out of old habit

Talk to your chair

Like you still had it

That easy laugh

That Sunday sway

Girl

I’d trade my pride

For another day

You got me waiting at the back door

Sunrise

Bare feet humming on the cold floor

Tired eyes

If you come walking up that driveway

I’ll let the past just fade away

I’m still waiting at the back door

Sunrise

For your shadow in the gold light

Maybe you’re gone

Maybe you’re close

I taste your name

Every time I toast

To moving on

(to moving on)

But my heart keeps sliding back

To where your shoes once sat

You got me waiting at the back door

Sunrise

Bare feet humming on the cold floor

Tired eyes

If you come walking up that driveway

I’ll let the past just fade away

I’m still waiting at the back door

Sunrise

Yeah

I’m still waiting at the back door

Sunrise

For your shadow in the gold light (ohh)
