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
