Two Tickets Home

Verse 1

Polaroid edges curled in my hand

Your laugh still caught in black and white

We were snow on a window pane

Melting before the daylight found us right

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I held too tight

Maybe you needed room to grow

Maybe time just forgot to wait

For two kids who wanted more

Chorus

I keep your jacket on the hook by the door

Where it hung when you were mine

I trace the pockets for a note you never wrote

And I swear I hear your name on the wind sometimes

Verse 2

Station clocks keep ticking slow

The platform smells of rain and old perfume

I bought two tickets just in case

You come home to a room I kept for you

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I held too tight

Maybe you needed room to grow

Maybe time just forgot to wait

For two kids who wanted more

Chorus

I keep your jacket on the hook by the door

Where it hung when you were mine

I trace the pockets for a note you never wrote

And I swear I hear your name on the wind sometimes

Bridge

If an autumn road leads you back

If some northern light calls you home

I'll leave the hallway lamp burning low

So you always know the way you know

Chorus

I keep your jacket on the hook by the door

Where it hung when you were mine

I trace the pockets for a note you never wrote

And I swear I hear your name on the wind sometimes

On the wind sometimes
