Still Wearing Your Jacket (Version 2)

Verse

Gravel driveway, six a.m. light

Your taillights fading into white

I'm holding coffee gone stone cold

Denim sleeves too big to hold

Screen door slaps against the frame

Nothing here looks quite the same

But there's a button missing at the cuff

Proof that leaving wasn't quite enough

Pre-Chorus

So how do I let go

Of something that still smells like home

When every mile you drive away

Just pulls this collar closer to my face

Chorus

I'm still wearing your jacket

Like the fall hasn't happened yet

Sleeves rolled up around my wrists

Holding on to what I miss

It's too big and it's all I've got

But I swear it's getting warmer

Every mile that you're not

I'm still wearing your jacket

Verse

Found your name inside the pocket

Faded ink, a grocery ticket

Milk and eggs and one more line

That says come back sometime

The porch light hums a lonesome tune

But the sky's gone gold instead of blue

Maybe distance ain't the end

Maybe it's just where roads bend

Pre-Chorus

So how do I let go

Of something that still smells like home

When every mile you drive away

Just pulls this collar closer to my face

Chorus

I'm still wearing your jacket

Like the fall hasn't happened yet

Sleeves rolled up around my wrists

Holding on to what I miss

It's too big and it's all I've got

But I swear it's getting warmer

Every mile that you're not

I'm still wearing your jacket

Bridge

Maybe this ain't goodbye dressed in gray

Maybe it's a seed in the yard of May

I'll water hope with these tears I cried

Watch this ending turn to sunrise

Chorus

I'm still wearing your jacket

But the fabric feels like faith now

Sleeves rolled up, my hands unclenched

Learning how to let this bend

It's too big but it fits just right

'Cause I know you're coming back

On some ordinary Friday night

Still wearing your jacket
