EITHER WAY

[Intro] Same alarm, same cold coffee Same stairs, same tired door The bus comes at the minute Like it always did before I know how the day will go I've walked it, I can see it through Some days I hate the loop Some days it's the thing I do Open it, or let it close Either way, the door is mine Nobody hands me the answer I'm the one who has to decide Stay, or step out, either way I made it, and I'll hold it Nothing wrong with the loop I chose Nothing wrong with the leap I'll take I'm not waiting for permission I'm the one who's choosing The walls are painted "almost free" The window shows the rain I practice it in the mirror And I'm fine with trying again Some nights I want the road Some nights I want the chair Both of them are mine to pick And I don't have to be sure Open it, or let it close Either way, the door is mine Nobody hands me the answer I'm the one who has to decide Stay, or step out, either way I made it, and I'll hold it Nothing wrong with the loop I chose Nothing wrong with the leap I'll take I'm not waiting for permission I'm the one who's choosing Maybe the loop was never a cage Maybe it was just a floor I stood on it on purpose And I can stand on it some more The handle's cold The hinge is loose I breathe in once And I choose Stay, or step out, either way I made it, and I'll hold it Nothing wrong with the loop I chose Nothing wrong with the leap I'll take I'm not waiting for permission I'm the one who's choosing Either way It's mine
