Blue Door Lullaby

Blue chair by the door

I come home to what we were (ooh)

Blue chair by the door

Like you meant to sit once more

Keys still in the bowl

But the room won't take the role

I say your name too quiet

To the hallway and the light

And I try to move on

But my hands won't learn the song

Every small goodbye

Leaves a mark I can't untie (ahhhh)

Blue chair, front door I keep waiting for your floorboards

To say you're back again

Blue chair, front door

All this love becomes a shortcut

To a dead-end (ooh) (ooh-oh)

Blue chair, front door (ooh-oh)

Dust line on the frame

Where your jacket used to hang

I rehearse the day

Like a scene that won't behave

Friends say, "change the view"

But it's you in every room

If I paint it red

Would it stop being your place If I leave it there

Am I choosing all the same I don't need a sign

Just a morning that feels mine (ahhhh)

Blue chair, front door

I keep waiting for your floorboards

To say you're back again

Blue chair, front door

All this love becomes a shortcut To a dead-end But I'm letting

go In the doorway on my own (ooh)

Blue chair by the door

I can finally close it slow (hummmm)
