| [Verse 1] If I could only have you here Just you, that crooked grin and that chipped blue mug of tea You’d kick your shoes off claim my half of the couch Talk through the movie like you always do to me I still set two plates out of habit Fold the napkin on your side I talk to the television so it feels less quiet but it’s not the same and I still know why [Pre-Chorus] We left some words half-spoken Door half-closed hearts half-okay Now every little silence sounds like something broken and all I wanna say [Chorus] If I could only have you here don’t stay away Just walk right through that open door I’d find the words I couldn’t say If I could only have you here I’d learn how to be brave Hold your hand and face the fear Baby, don’t stay away Don’t stay away [Verse 2] I pass our corner café and they still know your order They smile and ask me if you’re running late I laugh a little too loud say you’re “out of town” then stir my cup till the foam deflates Your sweater’s on the back of the chair where you left it I trace the pattern like it’s some secret code Tried packing up your side of the closet once but every empty hanger felt like letting go [Pre-Chorus] I hear your key in every creak Your name inside each everyday I’m tired of being strong when I’m this weak so let my stubborn pride give way [Chorus] If I could only have you here don’t stay away Just walk right through that open door I’d find the words I couldn’t say If I could only have you here I’d beg for one more day Lay it all down, crystal clear Baby, don’t stay away Don’t stay away [Bridge] I rehearsed a thousand versions of “I’m sorry” in my head Different outfits same confession standing right where we once stood instead Would you roll your eyes and kiss me or turn around and disappear? I’d rather risk a shattered heart than sit alone year after year [Chorus] If I could only have you here don’t stay away Just walk right through that open door I’d find the words I couldn’t say If I could only have you here I’d trade my pride today Lay every broken piece right here Baby, don’t stay away Don’t stay away [Outro] If I could only have you here [barely above a whisper] If I could only have you here One more night one more “okay” [held vocal button] Don’t stay away |
