Open The Door

[VERSE 1]
Picture this
Walking up to a house you don’t know and lettin' yourself in
And then you just start talking like you know something golden
And you roll out your carpet right under your chin

[VERSE 2]
And here I am, just handing it over
And here we are, and you didn’t even knock on my door
And I’m kickin' myself for shutting my mouth
And throwing up my hands and giving you the floor

[Chorus]
What I don’t know is how this started
You talking over me until you walk right through
I’m gonna need you to leave
Please allow me to open the door for you

[VERSE 3]
I’ve tasted blood from biting my tongue
I’m ready, like I must have met you before
To be standing here at all, I have broken ceilings
And climbed over walls and crawled under floors

[VERSE 4]
And this time, I’m not handing it over
I’ve carried these words through fire and rain
And I’ve made my agreements with my doubt and my demons
That silence can no more rely on my name

[Chorus]
What I don’t know is how this started
You talking over me until you walk right through
I’m gonna need you to leave
Please allow me to open the door
Open the door
Open the door for you
