Keys (Acoustic) from Hydraulics - LP by Rorie

Birdsongs in daylight say there is so much more and
Heart piercing words told her to shut the door
Now she stands in doorways staring at the past
She stands between this moment and the last
Lying to herself, and lying at the door
Tired of the talk, but clinging to their words

She shut the door and turned the lock but left the key lying around
Shut the door and turned the lock but left the key lying around

Well she was a dreamer, wished she could learn to fly
Stuck at the doorstep of lies she left behind
Birdsongs in darkness, melting starshine
Battles of heartache rage in silent nights
Lifting up a prayer, but clutching keys to doubt
Afraid to leave behind what she needs to live without

She shut the door and turned the lock but left the key lying around
Shut the door and turned the lock but left the key lying around

She’ll always hear the same old talk, just turn the key where it belongs
And she’s believed it all along, she thought a lie could make her strong
She says I’m going yeah I’m gone, I’ve found the One who makes me strong
She says I’m going yeah I’m gone, I’ve found the One who makes me strong

So she turned the lock and shut the door but left the key inside the house
Turned the lock and shut the door but left the key inside the house
Turned the lock, shut the door, left the key inside the house and
There she runs, there she runs, there she runs, and there she flies
