Come Back and Stay

[Verse 1]
Your coffee cup is still beside the sink
The porch light’s on, though you’re miles away
I found your note beneath the kitchen clock
Three careful words I can’t put away

[Pre-Chorus]
I know I let the quiet grow too wide
I should have reached for you instead of pride

[Chorus]
Come back and stay, don’t let this be goodbye
Come back and stay, I’ll meet you halfway this time
There’s room at the table, your name on the door
I’ll give you the patience I should’ve given before
Come back and stay, let’s try one more day

[Verse 2]
Your blue coat’s hanging by the back-room stairs
The one you wore when the first frost came
I keep remembering the county fair
You laughing hard when I missed my aim

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t expect the hurt to disappear
Just let me show you I can still be here

[Chorus]
Come back and stay, don’t let this be goodbye
Come back and stay, I’ll meet you halfway this time
There’s room at the table, your name on the door
I’ll give you the patience I should’ve given before
Come back and stay, let’s try one more day

[Bridge]
No grand promises, no borrowed lines
Just me, your hand, and a little more time
If your heart can leave the latch undone
I’ll do the work till the trust comes home

[Final Chorus]
Come back and stay, don’t let this be goodbye
Come back and stay, I’ll meet you halfway this time
There’s room at the table, your name on the door
I’ll give you the patience I should’ve given before
Come back and stay, let’s try one more day
Come back and stay

[Outro]
Your coffee cup can wait right where it is
Come back and stay
