Turn the Key Inside Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You watched the winter settle in my room A glass of water gathering the dust I kept your old coat hanging by the door As if the sleeves could teach me how to trust [Pre-Chorus] Then your hand found mine beneath the blankets And the locked-up morning broke apart [Chorus] Pull me from the deep end, call me by my name Turn the key inside me, let the blood run warm again I was only half here, fading into gray Stay until the first light carries all this weight away [Verse 2] The kettle clicked; the hallway filled with steam You drew a little sun upon the glass I tried to tell you what I couldn’t feel But every honest word came out too fast [Pre-Chorus] Then your hand found mine beneath the blankets And the locked-up morning broke apart [Chorus] Pull me from the deep end, call me by my name Turn the key inside me, let the blood run warm again I was only half here, fading into gray Stay until the first light carries all this weight away [Bridge] If I disappear behind my eyes Keep a place for me beside the door Say the things I couldn’t say tonight I can hear you now; I’m here once more [Final Chorus] Pull me from the deep end, call me by my name Turn the key inside me, let the blood run warm again I was only half here, but I found my way Stay until the first light; I am not a ghost today [Outro] I am here today I am here
