Come Home as You Are

Lyrics

Your 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 Some days take more than they give You don't have to talk through all of it Come 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 We 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 Some days ask more than we can give We don't have to rise above all of it Come 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 When 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 Come 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 Come home as you are You can rest with me tonight
