Tensions Next Door

"Here we

go, Trevor. Just knock on the door."

Walking up the driveway,

heart in my throat

He's the quiet neighbor in the heavy woolen coat

Always hiding secrets behind his wooden gate

Now I'm at his table,

sealing up my fate (oh no)

He stares right through me,

cold and austere

He says "you're not the one for her,

let me make

that clear"

Oh, the neighbor on the other side of the wall

Watching every single shadow fall He says "stay away,

boy, or watch it crumble down"

Trevor, you're a stranger in his hidden town

She's holding my hand underneath the light

But her father's anger

darkens the night

What is he keeping locked inside his room?

A family history wrapped in quiet doom (shhh)

He knows my name,

he knows where I go

Secrets of the block only he could know

Is it a threat,

or a warning to run?

Before the morning sun

Oh, the neighbor on the other side of the wall

Watching every single

shadow fall He says "stay away,

boy, or watch it crumble down"

Trevor, you're a stranger in his hidden town

Behind the curtain, the lamp goes black

No turning back (ooh)
