The Door Inside of Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I know the blue of your apartment door The coffee stain beside your kitchen drawer I tell myself these details mean nothing Then count the minutes till you come home Your name is open on my phone again I type three words, erase them, start again You said you needed room to breathe tonight So why am I parked beneath your light? [Pre-Chorus] I make a map of every place you go I hate the truth, but I still need to know [Chorus] I'm obsessed, I confess You're the thought I can't undress From my mind, from my chest Every no becomes a yes If you leave, I follow close If you hide, I need you most I'm a lock without a key And you're the door inside of me [Verse 2] I know the shift that ends at half past nine The brand of gum you buy at checkout lines I hear your laugh through someone else's story And feel it burning holes through mine I keep your jacket on the back of my chair Like proof that something still lives there You call it love when you are feeling kind I call it hunger dressed up in a tie [Pre-Chorus] I make a case from every little sign Then lose myself defending why you're mine [Chorus] I'm obsessed, I confess You're the thought I can't undress From my mind, from my chest Every no becomes a yes If you leave, I follow close If you hide, I need you most I'm a lock without a key And you're the door inside of me [Bridge] Tonight I put the phone face down Let the silence fill the room For one whole minute, I don't chase For one whole minute, I choose Then your name lights up the screen And I become what I was before I know exactly where this ends Still I'm reaching for the door [Final Chorus] I'm obsessed, I confess You're the fever in my breath Every line I said I'd never cross Is a line I haven't met If you leave, I follow close If you hide, I need you most I'm a lock without a key And you're the door inside of me [Outro] Your blue apartment door Your name beneath my thumb I tell myself I'm done Then wait for you to come
