Your jacket on the chair
Still smells like the rain from last night
You left it there again
Maybe you want me to keep it
Maybe you just forgot
The window fogged up
I wrote your name
Watched it fade
Like everything we say
When the morning comes
We never meant to stay
You come to me like a harbor
Quiet after the storm
But harbors are for leaving
And you were never mine to keep
You come to me like a harbor
Safe until the light
Then you pull away slow
Like you never meant to arrive
Your hand on my chest
Counting my heartbeat
Or counting yours
I couldn't tell
We were both so still
Like the whole world stopped
Just to let us pretend
You said don't turn on the light
Let the dark hold this
Let it hold us
Just for tonight
Tomorrow I won't ask
You won't stay
We both know the way this goes
Your jacket on the chair
I leave it there
Like a promise I don't name
Maybe one day you'll come back
Maybe one day I'll throw it away
But not today
You come to me like a harbor
Quiet after the storm
But harbors are for leaving
And you were never mine to keep
You come to me like a harbor
Safe until the light
Then you pull away slow
Like you never meant to arrive
The rain stopped
Your jacket still here
Morning light through the window
Pale and thin
Like everything we were
