[Intro – soft acoustic guitar, fingerpicking]
[Verse 1 – intimate, close]
It’s getting late, this town’s gone quiet
Neon’s fading down the street
I’m sitting here where we used to
Let the world fall at our feet
Got your number in my phone still
Don’t know why I never erased it
Guess some things you hold onto
Even when you shouldn’t chase it
---
[Chorus – soft, emotional]
If you call tonight
I won’t let it ring
I’ll pick it up like nothing’s changed
Like it still means everything
If you say my name
Like you used to do
I’ll be halfway out the door
Before I think it through
---
[Verse 2 – slightly deeper]
There’s a jacket in my backseat
Been there since you left that night
I keep telling myself I’ll move it
But I never get it right
Every mile I drive away
Just brings me back again
To the way it felt before
We said this was the end
---
[Chorus – fuller, still restrained]
If you call tonight
I won’t let it ring
I’ll pick it up like nothing’s changed
Like it still means everything
---
[Bridge – stripped down]
(soft)
I know better…
Yeah I do…
(pause)
But that never stopped me
When it comes to you
---
[Break – light steel guitar fill]
---
[Final Chorus – slightly bigger, emotional lift]
If you call tonight
I’ll be right there
Don’t matter where you are
Don’t matter how unfair
If you say you miss me
Even just a little bit
I’ll believe every word
And fall right back in it
---
[Outro – acoustic fade]
(soft)
Yeah… I’d fall right back in it…
