[Verse 1 — metallic rhythm, pulsing bass] I changed the locks a hundred times Cut every key to your design I built a world where you feel safe You found one door that wouldn't stay [Pre-Chorus — echoing vocal] My own front door is painted blue I lost the key while helping you [Chorus — soaring melody] Click-click, turn the key Everybody's safe but me Every bolt I drive in place Takes another inch of space I'd melt the locks and leave them open Walk into the great unknown But people sleeping in these rooms Deserve the safety of a home (Open up, open up) [Verse 2 — syncopated bass] You want a lock without a key A guarantee that nothing leaves [Bridge — slow vocal harmony] Maybe freedom isn't fire Maybe I can change one lock Maybe love could learn to knock Instead of owning every door [Outro — gentle dissonance] I cut one key that bears my name And keep it somewhere safe
