[Verse 1] If I had the lumber, if I had the land I’d raise a room for every hand I understand A table long enough for all the names I keep A fire that stays kind while the whole house sleeps [Pre-Chorus] No keys to copy, no line to draw No one held here by a hidden law [Chorus] Come in, come close, there’s room enough to stay I’d give you warmth and let you keep your way But hearts get measured like a deed, a claim, a prize We build our little borders where the open doorway lies I dream us side by side, unowned, alive I dream us side by side [Verse 2] You could leave at sunrise, come back when you choose Bring your changing weather, bring your different truths I’d never call your freedom proof that love was wrong I’d want the door to welcome you, not make you belong [Pre-Chorus] No keys to copy, no line to draw No one held here by a hidden law [Chorus] Come in, come close, there’s room enough to stay I’d give you warmth and let you keep your way But hearts get measured like a deed, a claim, a prize We build our little borders where the open doorway lies I dream us side by side, unowned, alive I dream us side by side [Bridge] I can picture every chair pulled near Every voice still sounding clear No one asked to shrink or choose No one loved by what they lose Then the world says, “Mine or gone,” And the house I drew comes down [Final Chorus] Come in, come close, there’s room enough to stay I’d give you warmth and let you keep your way But hearts get measured like a deed, a claim, a prize We build our little borders where the open doorway lies I dream us side by side, unowned, alive I dream us side by side [Outro] If I could build it, you’d be free And still there’d be a place for me
