[Verse 1] We talk every night before we fall asleep Then one night you say "I'm coming home next week" Those few words are enough to change it all The world turns soft, the waiting starts to feel small I tidy up the place, I make the bed again I put out flowers, not quite sure why or when I want it perfect for the moment you walk in So you feel like you're home, like you belong within [Chorus] And then I hear the sound of keys in the door That little click that says you're here once more That sound right there's the sweetest one I know It means the waiting's finally letting go The sound of keys in the door And I'm already standing before you're through The sound of keys in the door And I feel whole again, brand new [Verse 2] For days I picture you, already on your way I see your suitcase, your smile, your eyes of gray The road from Eindhoven, all those hours you'll drive To land right here, in our arms, in what keeps us alive And when you push the door and step into the light Everything we couldn't say on the phone at night Gets said right there, in that first look, that first move Those first arms opening — finally, we're home to prove [Chorus] I hear the sound of keys in the door That little click that says you're here once more That sound right there's the sweetest one I know It means the waiting's finally letting go The sound of keys in the door And I'm already standing before you're through The sound of keys in the door And I feel whole again, brand new [Bridge] These few days together, we live them twice as strong Like we already know we'll pay for them in weeks that feel too long In nights without you, in silence we hold tight So we make the most, we hold on, we lose ourselves tonight We say the things we usually put off till later We love like it's the first time, nothing greater And when you leave, I keep this sound inside my head The sound of keys... waiting for you again [Final Chorus] I'll still be waiting for the sound of keys in the door That little click that says you're here once more That sound right there's the sweetest one I know It means our love has never let us go The sound of keys in the door And I'll be standing there before you're through The sound of keys in the door And I'll feel whole... in you
