You leave your coffee by the window
A little ring upon the wood
I trace the shape of where you held me
And tell myself I understood
The hallway keeps your coat of rain
The door still knows the way you turn
I had a thousand things to tell you
Now every word arrives too late
If I could borrow one more minute
I would spend it honestly
No grand promise no perfect reason
Just you and me
I would choose you through the breaking
Through the silence through the doubt
If the world kept rearranging
I would find your heart somehow
Let the years fall where they want to
Let the old roads disappear
I would choose you I would choose you
If you could still be here
Your photograph is in the drawer now
Face down beneath a folded shirt
I never learned to call it over
When loving you still feels like work
The train moves slowly past the station
Red lights fading one by one
I watch the night erase the distance
And wish the leaving had not begun
If I could trade my pride for mercy
If I could turn the clock around
I would say the simplest sentence
Before you left this town
I would choose you through the breaking
Through the silence through the doubt
If the world kept rearranging
I would find your heart somehow
Let the years fall where they want to
Let the old roads disappear
I would choose you I would choose you
If you could still be here
Maybe love is not a harbor
Maybe love is learning storms
Maybe every road we wander
Keeps the shape of what was warm
And if your name still finds my breathing
When the room is dark and still
I will carry what was honest
I will carry what I will
I would choose you through the breaking
Through the silence through the doubt
Even if the door stays closing
I will never count you out
Let the years fall where they want to
Let the old roads disappear
I would choose you I would choose you
Even when you’re not here
I would choose you
I would choose you
Even when you’re not here
