Outside Your Door

How can I love
When you push my hand away

How can I come around
When your room is always bare

When I call your name
I can feel the echoes inside

How can I be with you
When you choose to suffer on your own

In the whole wide world
In all the things that are
I can feel the ground collapse
As it swallows you whole
I’m tearing up inside
As I lean outside your door

There’s no lights
In the places where you hide out

I travel far
Then you change the destination

When I turn the key around
The room beyond vanishes from me

The night turns to day
When I should be there by your side

In the whole wide world
In all the things that are
I can feel the ground collapse
As it swallows you whole
I’m tearing up inside
As I lean outside your door

The summer’s outside
But you draw down the blinds

I left a note
Now it’s faded in the rain

To find you again
I follow the trail of tears

The night crumbles away
When I should be there by your side

In the whole wide world
In all the things that are
I can feel the ground collapse
As it swallows you whole
I’m tearing up inside
As I lean outside your door

To find you again
I follow the trail of tears

I’m tearing up inside
To pick you up again
As I lean outside your door
