paperwork - your old coat lyrics

[verse 1]
it’s winter now, i’m wearing your old coat
as i stumble down the street to another show
the thoughts i have are now my thoughts alone
when the band wraps up tonight i’ll just walk home
will be people there that i’ll recognize
there will be no flash of recognition in their eyes
though you know i hate to see you leave
sometimes that’s just the way things have to be

[pre+chorus]
and such big plans we had
such big plans we had

[chorus]
this is all that i have left, your old clothes and your old desk
some books and records that you lеft behind with me
so i’ll read your books and wеar your clothes
and though the air is getting cold
i feel just fine in your old coat
[verse 2]
it’s summer now and they won’t let you leave
and they’re cutting up your letters before you can even read
keep thinking of that phone call and of the cracking in your voice
when you gave the kind of news that just destroys
this house is far too cold to be a home
and there’s a certain kind of silence
that these walls have never known
it’s been months now since we’ve had a chance to speak
well sometimes that’s just the way things have to be

[pre+chorus]
and such big plans we had
such big plans we had

[chorus]
this is all that i have left
a box of letters that you sent
a written record of the places you have been
and explanations i don’t need
despite the way that it might seem
i won’t ever let you leave
fell asleep to the train tracks, lacking
the comfort of our parents’ laughter
woke up on the floor an only child
if only for a
while i slept you both were dying
now i sit and rub my eyes and
wonder where i am and where you’ve gone
[outro]
when winter comes again you’re coming home
when you get back we’re going to a show
[indistinct]
