Empty Hall

The ashtray's gone cold on the sill, One cup left by the sink. Your coat's not hanging by the door, That's the loudest thing I think. Bare walls, bare shelf, bare floor. My footsteps make it clear. I keep the room half lit, Like you might walk in here. Ooh, I let the phone keep humming. Then I let it go quiet. Every time it starts to ring, I'm standing up Inside it. Come back to the empty hall. Come back, don't make me stall. I'm still here, I'm still here, Waiting by the phone all night. Come back to the empty hall. Come back here. Come back, hear my call. I'm still here, I'm still here. Baby, come back tonight. The clock on the stove stays mean, It never looks away. I fold your name in paper, Then I tear it up again. That old couch knows your shape. The rug knows your step. I talk to the dark in the doorway, Like it owes me a debt. I let the phone keep humming. Then I let it go quiet. Every time it starts to ring, I'm standing up Inside it. Come back to the empty hall. Ooh. Come back, don't make me stall. I'm still here, I'm still here, Waiting by the phone all night. Come back to the empty hall. Come back. Come back, hear my call. I'm still here, I'm still here. Baby, come back tonight. If you're out there moving slow, if you're lost Your way, Follow that thread of smoke back to my place. I left the window cracked, left your song on Low. I never learned how to leave what we Had before. Come back to the empty hall. Come back. Come back, don't make me stall. I'm still here, I'm still here, Waiting by the phone all night. Whoa. Come back to the empty hall. Come back. Come back, hear my call. I'm still here, I'm still here. Baby, come back tonight.
