[Verse 1]

You probably just left work, playing Eric Church on speakers

You probably ordered out from a place 'cross town ’cause it's cheaper

You're staying up ’til three 'cause you overthink 'stead of sleeping

And I'll stay up too but my mind's on you


[Chorus]

And I know that it ain't my place

To see how you're doing with moving on

To find out if you're okay

Walking back from the bar to your car alone

’Cause you called it off but I’m still gonna call

And say baby come over again

But you've been checked out for seven months now

So why am I still checking in?


[Verse 2]

You probably told your friends ’bout that one weekend in Austin

Where we both got drunk, brought the wrong thing up and you lost it

Leaving out the part when you went too far and you still won't admit it

It should've ended right there, so why the hell do I care?


[Chorus]

When I know that it ain't my place

To see how you’re doing with moving on

To find out if you're okay

Walking back from the bar to your car alone

'Cause you called it off but I'm still gonna call

And say baby come over again

But you've been checked out for seven months now

So why am I still checking in?


[Bridge]

I'm still checking in

I'm still checkign that driveway for your car

Hoping that all those tire marks are mine from before

So I can pretend that I'm still yours

But they look brand new

Like someones checking in on you


[Chorus]

Now I know that it ain't my place

To see how you're doing with moving on

I find out if you're okay

Walking back from the bar to his car to go home

'Cause you called it off so I ain't gonna call

And say baby come over again

'Cause you've been checked out for seven months now

I guess there's no more checking in
