[Title: If It Closes] [Intro] [Verse 1] Boxes in the hallway, tape across the door Sleeping on a promise and a figure on the floor They told me it was Tuesday, that was weeks ago I keep the kettle boiling for a call that doesn't go [Pre-Chorus] And I can't afford the waiting And I can't afford the rain [Chorus] If it closes I'll be home before the summer If it closes I'll be fine Maybe I don't wanna be somebody's lodger Maybe I just want a door that's mine [Verse 2] Storage by the motorway, a spare bed and a friend Counting up the favours that I'll never quite repay Bridging what I borrowed, borrowing the rest Everybody's certain, nobody will say [Pre-Chorus] And I can't afford the waiting And I can't afford the day [Chorus] If it closes I'll be home before the summer If it closes I'll be fine Maybe I don't wanna be somebody's lodger Maybe I just want a door that's mine [Bridge] Sign it, sign it, let the ink go dry One line on a page and I could breathe again Sign it, sign it, tell me where and why I've been standing in the doorway since I don't know when [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] If it closes I'll be home before the summer If it closes I'll be fine And I don't wanna be nobody's lodger I just want a door that's mine [Outro] If it closes If it closes I'll be fine
