Lyrics
[verse]
The house is quiet, quieter than before
No footsteps waiting by the door
I set two cups out of habit, still
Then remember how the silence fills
[chorus]
When you're gone, when you're gone
The rooms don't feel like they belong
I keep the light on, keep it burning long
Just in case you find your way back home
[verse]
I fold your jacket, hang it on the chair
Pretend I still can breathe your air
The calendar keeps turning, day by day
But part of me is stuck the day you left
[chorus]
When you're gone, when you're gone
The rooms don't feel like they belong
I keep the light on, keep it burning long
Just in case you find your way back home
[bridge]
Maybe distance teaches us to feel
Maybe missing you is what is real
I'll wait as long as waiting takes
For every promise love still makes
[chorus]
When you're gone, when you're gone
The rooms don't feel like they belong
I keep the light on, keep it burning long
Just in case you find your way back home
