[Intro: Matt Easton]
Yeah

[Chorus: Norah Jones/Matt Easton]
I waited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come (I don't, yeah)

[Verse 1: Matt Easton]
I said I don't know why I didn't make you my baby
'Cause lately I've been thinkin' about you almost daily
Since I left you, I feel the sky's always rainy
You never leave my eyes and it's my mind that your staining
A picture perfect portrait-slash-painting
Of your beautiful face and your smile in the making
I see your green eyes, your cute face too
I see your bubbly little laugh at the end of it too, uh
Your style and grace is a race from this place
I wanna place my arms around your waist in good taste, yeah
Prayin's a waste, and so my tears down my face
My eyelids sting like they were laced with mace
And I know you ain't cold, but baby, I'm freezin'
Your warmth is the only reason I'm still breathin'
Summer straight to winter was the change of the season
Girl, you bless like my life like I'm always sneezin'

[Chorus: Norah Jones/Matt Easton]
I waited 'til I saw the sun (I know, I know, uh)
I don't know why I didn't come (I'm sorry)
I left you by the house of fun (I miss you)
I don't know why I didn't come (I miss hangin', I miss nappin')
I don't know why I didn't come

[Verse 2: Matt Easton]
Okay, said the time goes by
And my mind says why did I leave you?
All this contemplatin' got me thinkin' if I need to
Take another step into thinkin' that I need you
All this talk in time, you tellin' me to believe who
I can't see through the obstacle
Review my feelings and thinkin' that the optional
Feelin' unsubtle with my outcome of how dumb I was actin' when I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come back to get you
I waited till I saw the sun out from the best view
Pickin' you up in my arms, in my car
I'll rescue you from the world, to new heart, since I met you
Always right beside me, helpin' me in many ways
For many days, I'mma make you stay with me and together find a better place
Now I'm thinkin' 'bout the better days
Sayin' to myself I will never let you fade away

[Chorus: Norah Jones]
I waited 'til I saw the sun
I don't know why I didn't come
I left you by the house of fun
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
I don't know why I didn't come
