[Intro] The hallway bends where the paint peels thin A cold room waits with the deadbolt in [Verse 1] I count four steps, then the floor gives way Same cracked mirror wearing yesterday Name on the mailbox scratched to a scar No road behind me, no sign where you are The ceiling breathes when the pipes go still Dust on the table, a cup half-filled I hear your key but the lock won’t turn Something inside me refuses to learn [Chorus] Don’t call my name from the room downstairs I left that voice with the broken chairs If you see me standing where the curtains part Keep your hands off the door, keep out of my heart [Verse 2] The old clock stopped at a quarter past two Every small silence points back to you Wet footprints fade by the bedroom wall One set enters, but none leave at all I keep the lights low, I keep my coat on The house gets larger whenever I run Under the floorboards, a slow knock starts Three for the warning, four for the dark [Bridge] I know that rhythm I know that breath Something is waiting For what comes next [Chorus] Don’t call my name from the room downstairs I left that voice with the broken chairs If you see me standing where the curtains part Keep your hands off the door, keep out of my heart [Outro] Four steps back, then the floor gives way The door is open at the end of the hall I hear your key I hear your key I hear your key
