Why did you leave me?

[Verse 1]
I found your coat in the hall
Still bent like you were here
Three photos in a shoebox
And my name on the back, in blue

The lamp makes a small island
Your smile keeps crossing my skin
I swear the room knows better
But it keeps letting you in

[Pre-Chorus]
I count the folds in the paper
I count the beats in my chest
Every little shadow
Turns you back into flesh

[Chorus]
In the photo box
You come back to me
In the photo box
You don’t let me leave
I hear your laugh
Like a room with no doors
In the photo box
I still want you more

(Photo box)
(Still want you more)

[Verse 2]
Your handwriting leans left
Like you were in a rush
One ticket stub, one receipt
One ring of dust on the plush

I touch the edge of August
And it cuts like a little knife
How can a thing so quiet
Keep your shape inside my life?

[Pre-Chorus]
I count the folds in the paper
I count the beats in my chest
Every little shadow
Turns you back into flesh

[Chorus]
In the photo box
You come back to me
In the photo box
You don’t let me leave
I hear your laugh
Like a room with no doors
In the photo box
I still want you more

(Photo box)
(Still want you more)

[Bridge]
If I close my eyes, you move
If I blink, you stay
I was doing fine till I opened
What I meant to put away

Now the night feels crowded
With the shape of your goodbye
And I hold that little box
Like it’s holding my life

[Final Chorus]
In the photo box
You come back to me
In the photo box
You don’t let me leave
I hear your laugh
Like a room with no doors
In the photo box
I still want you more

In the photo box
You come back to me
In the photo box
You don’t let me leave
(Photo box)
I still want you more
