I Brought Your Pillow Back 🕯️ Soul Blues | Nola Jean Hart (Official Lyric Video)

Three in the morning after a fight. His pillow is on the couch, your side of the bed went cold, and neither of you will say goodnight first. So you carry his pillow back and turn his corner of the blanket down. A slow-dance soul song for the small first step after an argument. What this song is: a 6/8 slow-dance soul ballad about making up without winning. What it isn't: a song about who was right. Nobody was. You're still here.

Couch springs and a borrowed blanket, Neither one of us asleep. [Verse 1] We said the kind of things last night That stay up in a room, You took your pillow to the couch, I lay there in the gloom. Your side went cold around midnight, I could hear you turn and sigh, Two grown fools in one small house, Too proud to say goodnight. [Pre-Chorus] So at three o'clock I quit being right... [Chorus] I brought your pillow back, Laid it where it goes, Turned your corner of the blanket down, Left the door half-closed. I don't need to win this one, I just need you near, So I brought your pillow back, baby, Your place is right here. [Verse 2] On the couch you'd kept your work shirt on, Your glasses on your chest, And I saw how tired you'd gotten, How long since you had rest. It wasn't me you were fighting, It was every heavy week, And I'd been too busy hurting To see you couldn't sleep. [Pre-Chorus] So at three o'clock I quit being right... [Chorus] I brought your pillow back, Laid it where it goes, Turned your corner of the blanket down, Left the door half-closed. I don't need to win this one, I just need you near, So I brought your pillow back, baby, Your place is right here. [Bridge] I'm still a little mad at you, And I miss you all the same, Both of 'em in the one heart, And neither one's to blame. [Final Chorus] You came back with the blanket, Didn't say a word, Slid your cold feet next to mine, That's how I knew you heard. We don't need to win this one, We just need us near, Two pillows where they belong, baby, We're not who we were, but we're here. [Outro] Mm... Not who we were... Still here tonight. — Lyrics written and chosen by a human songwriter.
