Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

Yesterday you left before the morning came

Packed your bag in silence and forgot to say my name

I stood out on the porch and watched the taxi disappear

Told myself I wouldn't miss you, told myself I wouldn't fear

[chorus]

I'm caught somewhere between the leaving and the start

Stuck inside the hallway of a torn and turning heart

Not quite gone, not quite here, just a fading afterglow

Somewhere in between the yes and no

[verse]

I keep the porch light burning though I know you're far away

Half of me still hopes you'll change your mind and stay

The calendar keeps flipping but my heart won't turn the page

I'm frozen in a moment like a bird outside its cage

[chorus]

I'm caught somewhere between the leaving and the start

Stuck inside the hallway of a torn and turning heart

Not quite gone, not quite here, just a fading afterglow

Somewhere in between the yes and no

[bridge]

Come back, come back, before the door swings shut

Come back before I learn to live with what

Was never really finished, never really said

Come back before this feeling in my chest is dead

[chorus]

I'm caught somewhere between the leaving and the start

Stuck inside the hallway of a torn and turning heart

Not quite gone, not quite here, just a fading afterglow

Somewhere in between the yes and no

## Lyrics
[verse]
Yesterday you left before the morning came
Packed your bag in silence and forgot to say my name
I stood out on the porch and watched the taxi disappear
Told myself I wouldn't miss you, told myself I wouldn't fear

[chorus]
I'm caught somewhere between the leaving and the start
Stuck inside the hallway of a torn and turning heart
Not quite gone, not quite here, just a fading afterglow
Somewhere in between the yes and no

[verse]
I keep the porch light burning though I know you're far away
Half of me still hopes you'll change your mind and stay
The calendar keeps flipping but my heart won't turn the page
I'm frozen in a moment like a bird outside its cage

[chorus]
I'm caught somewhere between the leaving and the start
Stuck inside the hallway of a torn and turning heart
Not quite gone, not quite here, just a fading afterglow
Somewhere in between the yes and no

[bridge]
Come back, come back, before the door swings shut
Come back before I learn to live with what
Was never really finished, never really said
Come back before this feeling in my chest is dead

[chorus]
I'm caught somewhere between the leaving and the start
Stuck inside the hallway of a torn and turning heart
Not quite gone, not quite here, just a fading afterglow
Somewhere in between the yes and no
