Need You Back

I kept your side of the bed

Like a promise in the dark

Still hear you laugh in the hallway

Still feel you in my heart

City lights keep moving

But I′m stuck on where you went

Every quiet hour spells your name

Every breath says come back again

I try to dress the emptiness in brighter shades of blue

But every road I take around it leads me back to you

I need you back, back in my arms tonight

Back where the hurt can heal and the silence stills right

I'll meet you back when the world goes cold

You were my home, baby, come back and hold my soul

I learned

How to smile for the people who don't know

How the kitchen holds your shadow

How the old songs won't let go

There's a crack in every morning

Where the memory pours in

And I'm tired of pretending

I can't feel you under my skin

I tried to call it moving on, tried to let the feeling fade

But love like ours don't disappear, it just waits in the shade

I need you back, back in my arms tonight

Back where the hurt can heal and the silence feels right

I need you back when the world goes cold

You were my home, now I come back and hold my soul

If you ever feel the distance

And the weight of being alone

Follow the sound of my forgiveness

Follow it back home

I'm not asking for perfection

Just a chance to start again

To put our broken pieces close

And let the killing in

I need you back, back in my arms tonight

Back where the hurt can heal

And the silence feels right

I need you back

If there's a way to stay

Come back to the love we had

Before it slipped away

I need you back

I still need you back
