lyrics
I took the train back, coat half-zipped, too late The front step's bare now, just the mat on the floor I rang the bell twice, heard my own breath shake Your cousin said, "She don't live here no more" The kettle's off, the sink got rust on the rim My old scarf hangs by the coat hook, thin and worn I stood in the hall like I was stepping in But the room kept moving, like it knew I was gone Make room for me Make room for me Make room for me Make room for me I came too late Peckham Road at dusk, I passed the chicken shop sign My phone lit up once, then it went dark in my hand You cleared the shelf space where my tins used to shine Now even my name feels small in this land The box by the stairs had my tea cups inside But one chipped saucer was missing from the set I laughed at the tag on the side of the lid Like the house had packed me before I could get wet Make room for me Make room for me Make room for me Make room for me I came too late
