You left your scarf on my chair
Blue thread, red tag, still there
I keep it folded by the door
Like you might come back for more

Your laugh in the hallway light
Felt like rain on a summer night
I tried to act like I was fine
But your name kept crossing my mind

So tell me, baby, what is this?
Why does your touch still feel like this?
I swear I moved, I swear I tried
Still your shadow won’t divide

Tell me something about love
Tell me something I can trust
When you hold me like you mean it
I start falling in the dust

Tell me something about love
Say it slow, say it enough
‘Cause my hands still know your heartbeat
And I can’t let that part go (go, go)

Coffee stains on your old note
Three words scribbled in the quote
I found it tucked inside a book
Right where you said I should look

Now the plate for two sits cold
Half a song, one story told
I keep your last text unread
Like a flame under the bed

So tell me, baby, what is this?
Why does your touch still feel like this?
I swear I moved, I swear I tried
Still your shadow won’t divide

Tell me something about love
Tell me something I can trust
When you hold me like you mean it
I start falling in the dust

Tell me something about love
Say it slow, say it enough
‘Cause my hands still know your heartbeat
And I can’t let that part go (go, go)

If love is just a wound
Then why do I keep mine clean?
If you’re a door I can’t close
Why do you still live in me?

Say my name, then stay awhile
Let the truth come out this time
If we’re only almost done
Why does it still feel alive?

Tell me something about love
Tell me something I can trust
When you hold me like you mean it
I start falling in the dust

Tell me something about love
Say it slow, say it enough
‘Cause my hands still know your heartbeat
And I can’t let that part go (go, go)

Tell me something about love
Tell me something I can trust
Say it like you mean forever
Or don’t say it at all, my love (oh-oh)
