[Intro] No knock No sign No warning line No door No call Life came straight through the wall [Verse 1] I left a little light on Like I always used to do I thought the night would tell me What was coming through I watched the quiet doorway I listened to the hall But while I stood there waiting Life came straight through the wall [Pre-Chorus] I thought love would ask me softly I thought grief would take its time I thought time would move politely With a reason and a rhyme But the things that really find you Do not wait for you at all They do not knock before they enter They come straight through the wall [Chorus] No knock No sign No warning line I was waiting by the door But life was already mine No knock No sign No mercy call I was looking for the handle When life came straight through the wall No knock No sign No warning line The door was over there But it crossed another line No knock No sign No room to fall I was standing in my sorrow When love came through the wall [Verse 2] Love did not bring flowers It did not wear a smile It came in like a memory That had walked for many miles Grief did not stand outside me It did not speak my name It sat down at my table Like an old familiar pain Time did not move slowly It did not make a call It changed the room around me And came straight through the wall [Pre-Chorus] I thought I could be ready I thought I could prepare I thought I could meet the moment If I knew that it was there But the heart is not a doorway And the soul is not a hall The things that really change you Come straight through the wall [Chorus] No knock No sign No warning line I was waiting by the door But life was already mine No knock No sign No mercy call I was looking for the handle When life came straight through the wall No knock No sign No warning line The door was over there But it crossed another line No knock No sign No room to fall I was standing in my sorrow When love came through the wall [Bridge] Maybe grace is not gentle Maybe truth is not kind Maybe beauty breaks the window Just to open up your mind Maybe everything that saves you First must make you small Maybe what becomes your healing Comes straight through the wall [Final Chorus] No knock No sign No warning line I was waiting by the door But life was already mine No knock No sign No mercy call I was looking for the handle When life came straight through the wall No knock No sign No warning line The door was over there But it crossed another line No knock No sign No room to fall I was standing in my sorrow When love came through the wall [Outro] No knock No sign No warning line The door was over there But life was already mine No knock No sign No call I know it now Life came straight through the wall
