The Long Way Home

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

The room stays quiet when I call your name

Chairs hold their breath

A cold cup on the sill

Winter keeps my side of the bed

And the clock forgets to move

Pre-Chorus

I keep the porch light burning low

Just in case you ever find the road

Just in case

Chorus

I'm alone again

The long way home

I'm alone again

And the phone won't ring

I'm alone again

So I talk to the walls

I'm alone again

Verse 2

I fold your sweater on the shelf

Every seam remembers you

Rain writes letters on the glass

I read them slow

Then I read them twice

Pre-Chorus

I still set two plates at night

Hoping someone knocks before the light

Hoping someone

Chorus

I'm alone again

The long way home

I'm alone again

And the phone won't ring

I'm alone again

So I talk to the walls

I'm alone again

Bridge

Maybe you forgot

Maybe I held too tight

Maybe love just fades

Maybe I was always right

Chorus

I'm alone again

The long way home

I'm alone again

And the phone won't ring

I'm alone again

So I talk to the walls

I'm alone again

I'm alone again

I'm alone again
