Come Home as You Are

Verse 1Your train ran late again
I heard your key at ten
You left your coat upon the chair
And stood beside it for a breath
The kettle clicked behind us
You tried to say you're fine
I moved the papers from the table
And pulled your chair to mine

Pre-ChorusSome days take more than they give
You don't have to talk through all of it

ChorusCome home as you are
With the city in your eyes
Put your keys beside my coffee
Let the evening take its time
You don't owe me silver linings
You don't have to wear a smile
Come home as you are
You can rest with me tonight

Verse 2We let the dinner cool
You laughed at half past two
That crooked picture in the hallway
Was still waiting to be moved
The things we never finished
Could wait another day
I used to fill the quiet spaces
Now I let them have their place

Pre-ChorusSome days ask more than we can give
We don't have to rise above all of it

ChorusCome home as you are
With the city in your eyes
Put your keys beside my coffee
Let the evening take its time
You don't owe me silver linings
You don't have to wear a smile
Come home as you are
You can rest with me tonight

BridgeWhen my words won't leave my mouth
When I'm the last one coming round
Leave a little room for me
That's all we'll ever need

Final ChorusCome home as you are
Let the city fade outside
Put your hand beside my heartbeat
We have nothing left to hide
We don't owe the world an answer
We can find it in our time
Come home as you are
You can rest with me tonight

OutroCome home as you are
You can rest with me tonight
