Coffee for One

Say less (say less)
Just come back through the door
Say less (say less)
I don't need the reasons no more

Your side of the bed still cold as stone
Coffee for one and the house feel grown
I rehearse all the angry things to say
Then I hear your key and it fall away
We don't need the courtroom of who was right
Just come home 'fore the end of the night
All the pride in the world can't warm the sheet
Say less, come back, make the picture complete
Your shoes by the mat in a tidy row
Gathering the dust of the days you go

I had the whole speech ready in my chest
But the anger lose to the loneliness
Leave the who-did-what out the kitchen door
Say less, just come back through the door

Say less, just come back through the door
(say less)
I don't need the reasons no more
(say less)
Leave the argument out in the rain
Say less, come ease the pain
(say less)

Say less (just come home)
Say less (don't roam)
I'll leave the porch light on for you
Say less, that's all you gotta do

I called your phone but I hung up quick
Pride and longing making me sick
Your photograph still on the kitchen wall
Same crooked frame from the springtime fall
I don't want to win, I just want you here
Trade the whole cold war for you near
The bed too wide and the dark too long
Say less, come back where you belong
Your handwriting still on the grocery note
Stuck to the fridge by the door you wrote

I had the whole speech ready in my chest
But the anger lose to the loneliness
Leave the who-did-what out the kitchen door
Say less, just come back through the door

Say less, just come back through the door
(say less)
I don't need the reasons no more
(say less)
Leave the argument out in the rain
Say less, come ease the pain
(say less)

Say less (just come home)
Say less (don't roam)
I'll leave the porch light on for you
Say less, that's all you gotta do

Your slippers still tucked by the kitchen door
Your cold tea sitting where you left it before
The kettle only whistle for one cup now
And your empty window catch the morning glow
So keep the whole apology, forget the fight
Say less, come back through the door tonight

(Say less, come back through the door)
(Come home, come home)
(Say less, I don't need no more)
Leave the whole cold war outside
Say less, come back inside
Leave the porch lamp burning by the pane
Come back home 'fore the morning rain

Say less, just come back through the door
(say less)
I don't need the reasons no more
(say less)
Leave the argument out in the rain
Say less, come ease the pain
(say less)

Say less (say less)
Just come back through the door
Say less (say less)
I don't need the reasons no more
