Come Back Slow
A song about missing someone who has left – the coat on the chair, two coffee cups, and a quiet plea to come back home, slowly.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Your coat's still on my chair
Clover by the door
I keep folding up your silence
Like it lives here more
Your coffee cup is empty
But I still set two
Old habits in this small room
Keep asking for you
Pre-Chorus
If you call, I fall
Like water through my hands
I act so strong
But you know where I land
Chorus
Come back slow
Come back home
Don't let go
Don't leave me alone
Come back slow
Come back home
My heart knows
Where you belong
Verse 2
Your name on my phone glows
Like a bruise I can't hide
I read our last three messages
Then put the screen aside
The floorboards know your footsteps
The walls still lean your way
This house is holding your echo
Long after you went away
Pre-Chorus
If you call, I fall
Like water through my hands
I act so strong
But you know where I land
Chorus
Come back slow
Come back home
Don't let go
Don't leave me alone
Come back slow
Come back home
My heart knows
Where you belong
Bridge
If I had one wish
I'd spend it on your hands
One more midnight
One more chance
Say my name soft
Like you used to do
I'll meet you halfway
If you want me too
Final Chorus
Come back slow
Come back home
Don't let go
Don't leave me alone
Come back slow
Come back home
My heart knows
Where you belong
Come back slow
Come back home
Don't let go
Don't leave me alone
Come back slow
Come back home
I still know
Where you belong
