I Keep Coming Back to You

Intro

Mmm, oh-oh, yeah

(la-la)

Verse

You left your jacket on the chair, sleeves rolled like you were running late

A coffee ring on the table, your laugh hangs like a photograph

There’s a freckle on your left hand that I trace when I'm awake

And every crooked grin of yours rewrites the map I have

Pre-chorus

I tried to be a steady thing, a quiet harbor on the coast

But you pull me like a song that I remember most (remember most)

I stumble through my sentences, I’m honest when I’m small

You read me without pages, you know me through it all

Chorus

I keep coming back to you, I keep coming back to you (oh-oh)

Like worn-in denim and a scent that never leaves the room (yeah)

I keep coming back to you, I keep coming back to you (na-na)

Where everything that’s broken turns into something true

I keep coming back to you, I keep coming back to you

Verse

You hum that song from summer, notes stuck in the kitchen light

We dance in bare feet on tile, one step wrong, it feels so right

Your joking eyes are honest now, and honesty is rare

You say my name like medicine, and I’m lighter than the air

Pre-chorus

I tried to build a taller voice but yours brought me down soft (down soft)

You fold me like a letter where the corners never lost

When storms come like surprise guests and leave the door ajar

You’re the steady hand that says, come closer, don’t go far

Chorus

I keep coming back to you, I keep coming back to you (oh-oh)

Like worn-in denim and a scent that never leaves the room (yeah)

I keep coming back to you, I keep coming back to you (na-na)

Where everything that’s broken turns into something true

I keep coming back to you, I keep coming back to you

Bridge

If the world forgets how to breathe, I’ll teach it to remember us

If time decides to bury hours, I’ll steal them back for just one touch

Say the word and I’ll be reckless, say the word and I’ll be brave

Hold my hand like we’re the only ones who ever learned to stay (stay, stay)

Chorus

I keep coming back to you, I keep coming back to you (oh-oh)

Like worn-in denim and a scent that never leaves the room (yeah)

I keep coming back to you, I keep coming back to you (na-na)

Where everything that’s broken turns into something true

I keep coming back to you, I keep coming back to you

Chorus

I keep coming back to you, I keep coming back to you (oh-oh)

Like worn-in denim and a scent that never leaves the room (yeah)

I keep coming back to you, I keep coming back to you (na-na)

Where everything that’s broken turns into something true

I keep coming back to you, I keep coming back to you
