[Instrumental intro] [Verse 1 - Bubba MALE] The paint was new, the porch was pretty But I knew that creaking floor I'd walked past every little warning Like the many times before Called the silence understanding Called the hurry something true I was changing all the faces Keeping what I used to do [Chorus - Bubba and Darlene FEMALE harmony] I won't walk the same door twice With my eyes shut to the light I can slow down, ask a question Let the honest answers rise Love can have a sturdy boundary Grace can take a little time I won't walk the same door twice With my eyes shut to the light [Verse 2 - Darlene FEMALE] She said peace ain't never asking Someone else to disappear And a promise needs some living Before trust can settle here So we spoke without pretending Let the truth stand in the room Some doors open into healing Some you kindly don't walk through [Chorus - duet] I won't walk the same door twice With my eyes shut to the light I can slow down, ask a question Let the honest answers rise Love can have a sturdy boundary Grace can take a little time I won't walk the same door twice With my eyes shut to the light [Instrumental solo and break] [Bridge - intimate then build] Lord, don't make me hard and bitter Make me tender, make me wise Let me learn what I was missing With a heart and open eyes [Final chorus - full duet] I won't walk the same door twice With my eyes shut to the light I can slow down, ask a question Let the honest answers rise Love can have a sturdy boundary Grace can take a little time I won't walk the same door twice With my eyes shut to the light [Outro - resolve naturally] The Same Door Twice [Instrumental ending]
