The Jacket You Left

Lyrics for the song ‘The Jacket You Left’ by Abu Sayed. Explore the story behind the music.

I can still smell the smoke and the scent on your collar
Draped on the chair like you’re coming right back
The chill in the room makes me reach for you, baby
Wrapped in the dark and the faded out black
The fire burned down to the ash in the grate
You slipped through the door when the hour got late
Left me a ghost in the shape of a coat
And a scent that I breathe like a handwritten note
I trace every thread where your shoulders belong
Pulling it close like a favorite song
The shadows are long and the whiskey is dry
And I’m wearing the memory you left behind
Oh, the jacket you left in the glow of the night
Is keeping me warm when the feeling is right
I’m holding the sleeves like I’m holding your waist
Still drunk on the evening and hung on the taste
Hung on the taste, hung on the taste
Yeah, you left it right here, now I'm making it mine
There’s a tear in the seam where I pulled you in near
And a stain from the coffee we spilled laughing here
It’s heavy with secrets we whispered in bed
And words that we felt but we left all unsaid
I trace every thread where your shoulders belong
Pulling it close like a favorite song
The shadows are long and the whiskey is dry
And I’m wearing the memory you left behind
Oh, the jacket you left in the glow of the night
Is keeping me warm when the feeling is right
I’m holding the sleeves like I’m holding your waist
Still drunk on the evening and hung on the taste
Hung on the taste, hung on the taste
Yeah, you left it right here, now I'm making it mine
The quiet is heavy, the midnight is deep
I’m wearing this moment instead of my sleep
A piece of the evening I’m stealing away
With nothing to hide and with nothing to say
Yeah, Sayed knows the rhythm of hearts out of time
And the magic you left in this room is all mine
You knew exactly what you were doing.
And you know I'm never giving it back.
Oh, the jacket you left in the glow of the night
Is keeping me warm when the feeling is right
I’m holding the sleeves like I’m holding your waist
Still drunk on the evening and hung on the taste
