lyrics

Not Your Door


I went up to your house
And it dawned on me
As I stood by the entrance
That I no longer had your key
It came to my head
To press the buzzer instead
You'd never heard me through the din
But you'd always let me in

I took a few steps back
And looked up to see
Which one was your balcony
But of course, there couldn't be any
Nothing here anymore
Could ever be yours
This was the brand new truth
Of a world without you

Now I was locked out
There couldn't be any doubt
This was not your door
Anymore

So I walked back down
That familiar street
Right up to the corner
Where the phone box used to be
And I pictured you
Walking right next to me
Like you'd run around
Before those little legs let you down

Already I saw
You now belonged to my head
To make you young, make you happy
That's the beauty of the dead
And there'd be no reason
To ever come here again
This wasn't what I'd planned
But it helped me understand

Now I was locked out
There couldn't be any doubt
This was not your door
Anymore
