Empty Chair (v2)

[Verse 1]

Your mug still by the sink

Blue ring on the rim

I pass it every morning

Like you might come in

Your scarf on the back of the chair

Still holding your shape

The room knows your footsteps

I just know the ache

[Pre-Chorus]

And every little sound

Turns my head around

For half a second

I think you're here

Then the hallway goes still

And the air stands still

I keep your name

Right close to my ear

[Chorus]

Come home to me

Come home to me

This house is too quiet

When you're not here with me

Come home to me

Come home to me

I keep your side of the bed

And the space next to me

[Verse 2]

I watched the rain on the window

Falling all night long

Counted every drop down

Till the dark was gone

I saved you the last peach

Left the porch light low

Tried to act like I'm fine

But you already know

[Pre-Chorus]

Every little thing

Drags me back to spring

When you laughed so hard

You couldn't even breathe

Now I write you these lines

On the edge of time

Hoping love can cross

What the miles leave

[Chorus]

Come home to me

Come home to me

This house is too quiet

When you're not here with me

Come home to me

Come home to me

I keep your side of the bed

And the space next to me

[Bridge]

If I could fold the distance

Put it in my hands

I'd carry you through every door

Back where we began

And if tonight is heavy

I'll hold on for both

To the sound of your voice

To the way you still feel close

[Chorus]

Come home to me

Come home to me

This house is too quiet

When you're not here with me

Come home to me

Come home to me

I keep your side of the bed

And the space next to me

[Outro]

Come home to me

Come home to me

I'm still here waiting

Where your heart left me
