(Verse 1) I found a piece of rusted metal Buried deep inside my coat A jagged edge, a secret design Like a line a poet wrote I’d been wandering through the daylight With a lock I couldn't place Until the moment that I stumbled Into your quiet, crowded space. (Verse 2) You wear a shield made of armor Forged from years of old mistakes You keep a distance in your laughter To hide the way your spirit aches But there’s a silhouette of copper Hanging loosely on your chest And I've got the perfect counterpart To lay your heavy doubts to rest. (Chorus) My key to your heart, my love, Is a perfect fit, a golden spark. No need to force the rusty gears Or stumble blindly through the dark. With a single turn, the walls come down, The heavy doors just swing apart. Yeah, time has finally given me My key to your heart. (Verse 3) It isn't silver, it isn't shiny It’s got the wear of honest years It’s shaped by every word we’ve spoken And polished clean by all our tears It doesn't take a lot of power To make a fortress lose its grip Just a gentle touch of patience And a little faith to let it slip. (Chorus) My key to your heart, my love, Is a perfect fit, a golden spark. No need to force the rusty gears Or stumble blindly through the dark. With a single turn, the walls come down, The heavy doors just swing apart. Yeah, time has finally given me My key to your heart. (Bridge) Other hands have tried to pick it Other names have tried to guess They brought a hammer to the iron And left a beautiful, broken mess But love don't require breaking in It only asks for who we are And now the warmth is flooding through Leaving every door ajar. (Chorus) My key to your heart, my love, Is a perfect fit, a golden spark. No need to force the rusty gears Or stumble blindly through the dark. With a single turn, the walls come down, The heavy doors just swing apart. Yeah, time has finally given me My key to your heart. (Outro) Keep it close, let it stay We throw the old chains away A perfect fit, right from the start... I’ve got the key to your heart. Just a single turn. And the doors swing apart.
