[Verse 1] I packed a box in the hall Kept my keys by the bowl One old coat on the chair And a bag with a broken zipper hole The floor knows my feet The walls know my name But I’m done standing still In the middle of the same old frame [Pre-Chorus] If the door swings open I’m already halfway there You can call it running I call it getting air [Chorus] Bag by the door I can leave now Bag by the door I can breathe now One more zip, one more choice I hear a new life call my voice Bag by the door I can leave now [Verse 2] Got a tote from the store Got a duffel from June Got a backpack for nights And a case for a better tune Every handle I hold Feels like a train-line spark Every pocket says go Every strap points past the dark [Pre-Chorus] If the door swings open I’m already halfway there You can call it running I call it getting air [Chorus] Bag by the door I can leave now Bag by the door I can breathe now One more zip, one more choice I hear a new life call my voice Bag by the door I can leave now [Bridge] Not because I’m lost Not because I’m weak I just kept my future In the things I keep So I fold my old days Small enough to carry Set it by the exit Like a prayer I don’t bury [Chorus] Bag by the door I can leave now Bag by the door I can breathe now One more zip, one more choice I hear a new life call my voice Bag by the door I can leave now [Outro] If I’m brave, I’ll go If I’m ready, I’ll know Bag by the door And the rest can follow
