Prompt
Modern country heartbreak, smoky female alto in a warm low-mid register, close conversational verses with restrained rasp and selective low harmonies in the aching chorus; warm barroom intimacy with contemporary radio clarity; acoustic rhythm guitar, rounded live bass, dry snare, clean twangy electric fills, prominent answering pedal steel and subtle fiddle; 94 BPM, D minor, easy two-step sway, restrained groove, stripped bridge, full final chorus and decisive band stop
Lyrics
You came for your jacket. Well, there it is. It's on the chair where you left it in June. I've been eating standing up in that room. You say, "I thought you'd throw that thing away." I say, "I'm busy." You say, "You look great." You reach past me, then you let it hang. Funny how you came for it and stayed. You can ask me how I've been, But don't get comfortable again. Take your jacket, I can take the cold. Quit leaving me something I can hold. You don't get to leave and keep your place; I need that chair more than you need space. If you're only here for what you left behind, Take your jacket. Leave the rest of me mine. You lift it up; the chair looks strange. I never thought that much of it would change. You say, "You fixed the pocket on the right." I say, "Your keys kept falling out that side." You run your thumb along the seam. Don't make that mean you still need me. Take your jacket, I can take the cold. Quit leaving me something I can hold. You don't get to leave and keep your place; I need that chair more than you need space. If you're only here for what you left behind, Take your jacket. Leave the rest of me mine. I stitched it up the week after you left. Thought you'd come back cold and need it yet. No, I wasn't only keeping track of clothes. There. That's the part I hoped you wouldn't know. Take your jacket, I can take the cold. Quit leaving me something I can hold. You don't get to leave and keep your place; I need that chair more than you need space. I loved you. I don't take that back tonight. Take your jacket. Leave the rest of me mine. I pull that chair back to the table. Sit down before I think I'm able.
