[Verse 1] You left your blue cup by the window A half-moon stain on the wooden sill I took the long way past the meadow Trying to outrun what I feel [Pre-Chorus] Every small thing turns and catches Your coat, your key, the kitchen chair I count the cracks between the seconds Then find your fingerprints everywhere [Chorus] Don’t call it over, not tonight There’s still a match beneath the rain I’m holding on with both hands tight To what we broke and built again Don’t call it over, not tonight Say my name and make it plain If we’re going down, we’ll go upright And leave no silence in the frame [Verse 2] The garden gate keeps losing hinges The dog next door forgets my face I write your number in the margins Then fold the page and change its place [Pre-Chorus] All of my careful little answers Fall like coins beneath the bed You look at me across the counter And every unsaid word turns red [Chorus] Don’t call it over, not tonight There’s still a match beneath the rain I’m holding on with both hands tight To what we broke and built again Don’t call it over, not tonight Say my name and make it plain If we’re going down, we’ll go upright And leave no silence in the frame [Bridge] Maybe the truth is badly timed Maybe we’re tired, maybe we’re proud But I would rather hear you tremble Than lose you quietly in a crowd [Final Chorus] Don’t call it over, not tonight There’s still a match beneath the rain I’m holding on with both hands tight To what we broke and built again Don’t call it over, not tonight Say my name and make it plain If we’re going down, we’ll go upright And leave no silence in the frame [Outro] Leave the blue cup by the window I’ll be here when morning breaks
