[Kaelo — Male] Mi never left [Ayoa — Female] I found the key [Kaelo — Male] Then turn it [Both — Female & Male] No more knocking [Verse 1 — Ayoa (Female)] I kept a room I never showed Behind a careful smile You stayed close enough to let me breathe Never tried to cross the line I thought the answer lived in you In everything you said But the voice that turned the lock tonight Was mine inside my head [Pre-Chorus — Ayoa (Female)] I don’t need another sign I know what I’m ready for You can stop waiting outside I can open my own door [Chorus — Ayoa (Female) & Kaelo (Male)] No more knocking, no more knocking Baby, come a little closer No more talking through the doorway No more looking over my shoulder No more knocking, no more knocking I found the key inside of me You don’t have to break the lock When I’m the one who sets us free [Verse 2 — Kaelo (Male)] Mi saw the fear behind your eyes And knew not to rush you through Mi never came to take your space Only came to stand with you You had to hear your own voice first Before you could hear mine Now the door is open wide We can leave the walls behind [Pre-Chorus — Kaelo (Male)] No pressure, no convincing No pretending to be sure You said the word, mi standing here We know what we’re ready for [Chorus — Ayoa (Female) & Kaelo (Male)] No more knocking, no more knocking Baby, come a little closer No more talking through the doorway No more looking over my shoulder No more knocking, no more knocking You found the key inside of you Mi never had to break the lock You only had to turn it too [Rap Break — female - Ayoa , confident patois flow] Mi lock up mi heart, hide di key from sight Build up di wall till it block every light But you never force, never push, never pry Give me di space, let me choose when fi try Now mi step clean, confidence loud No more shrinking in di back of di crowd Truth inna mi chest and mi head held high If mi let you in, a mi own reply Click-click, turn it, hear di deadbolt drop Old fear done and di hiding fi stop Mi choose myself and mi choose you too Two whole hearts when we walking through No force, no chase, no begging, no plea You bring your love, but di choice stay with me Door swing wide and di whole room glow Mi ready now—so come in, let’s go [Bridge — female - Ayoa & male - Kaelo] [Ayoa — Female] The key was never in your hands [Kaelo — Male] Mi knew that from the start [Ayoa — Female] You never tried to force the lock [Kaelo — Male] Mi listened to your heart [Both — Female & Male] Now nothing stands between us We know what trust is for If love is standing right outside We don’t need locks anymore [Final Chorus — Ayoa (Female) & Kaelo (Male)] No more knocking, no more knocking Baby, come a little closer No more talking through the doorway No more looking over my shoulder No more knocking, no more knocking We choose the way we enter in You don’t have to lose yourself To finally let somebody in [Outro — Ayoa (Female) & Kaelo (Male)] [Ayoa — Female] You still there?
