Yearn For You

Verse 1

Friday night the radio hums

A dial tone on the kitchen wall

I'm folding shirts and making plans

That end up going nowhere at all

The porch light's got a burnt-out bulb

Airedale's sleeping by the gate

I keep checking if you're coming back

But I already know it's too late

Pre-Chorus

And I know I should just let it be

But every empty room is calling me

Chorus

Yearn for you in the morning light

Yearn for you when the evening falls

Yearn for you every single night

Yearn for you down these empty halls

Got a heart that won't stop wanting

Got a mind that won't turn loose

I been trying to hate the leaving

But I still yearn for you

Verse 2

Saw your truck at the feed store

And my stomach tied in knots

Waved at the man behind the window

He didn't know what I had lost

I bought a bag of garden seeds

I'll never plant a single row

Cause everything I used to grow

Was just a reason you'd come home

Pre-Chorus

And I know that time is supposed to heal

But there ain't a minute that you're not real

Chorus

Yearn for you in the morning light

Yearn for you when the evening falls

Yearn for you every single night

Yearn for you down these empty halls

Got a heart that won't stop wanting

Got a mind that won't turn loose

I been trying to hate the leaving

But I still yearn for you

Bridge

Maybe someday I'll sell this place

Maybe someday I'll change my name

Drive that old dirt road to nowhere

And walk into the rain

But you know me and my stubborn ways

I'll probably stay right here

Counting down the miles between

And wishing you were near

Chorus

Yearn for you in the morning light

Yearn for you when the evening falls

Yearn for you every single night

Yearn for you down these empty halls

Got a heart that won't stop wanting

Got a mind that won't turn loose

I been trying to hate the leaving

But I still yearn for you

Outro

Yeah I still yearn for you

Yearn for you

Yearn for you
