lyrics

I used to wonder where you were when you were looking out the door
I used to wonder what it takes to bring a man like you home
I can’t be quiet like an empty house, but I used to try
I can’t be cold like an empty house, but I used to try

We’re all figuring out what it means to come home
We’re all figuring out what it means to be loved

And I don’t know how much love you can take
But I’ve got so much more to give
I don’t know how much love I can take
But don’t stop now you know I’m not going to break

Cause the world is quiet like an empty house without you
The world is cold like an empty house without you
And there is only poetry in the things that make me cry
The blue is not confined to the sky
The world is quiet like an empty house without you

I still wonder where you are when you’re looking out the door
But now I know just what it takes to bring a man like you home
It doesn’t take a lot to know what’s going on in my mind
You read me like a book and I’m glad you never took your time

And I don’t know if there’s a limit to the love that you can take
But I’ve got so much more to give
And I don’t know if there’s a limit to the love that I can take
But don’t stop now you know I’m not going to break

Cause this love fills up all the little spaces
All the little nooks, all the little crevices
