Lyrics
Open Door
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yeah they tell you that you should quit trying
You are too small that you are too young
They tell you that chances too slim
The world is too big
But you say: How come?
I'm ready to light a new fire
Raise a new flag
To cross a new sea
And if I'm ever the one in your way
Then put your head down
And run right through me
So why keep settlin’ for so much less?
Don’t take what’s given
Just demand what’s next
We’re looking for an open door
Some way we didn’t see before
Some way to get out of here
A plot twist that we didn’t see coming
We’re looking for an open door
Some way we didn’t see before
And when we get out of here, we'll
No, no, we’ll never stop running
There’s some like a shadow in a valley colossal
Open up your eyes, young one and be watchful
Behind closed doors, trying to write a new gospel
They are not God, they not even apostles
I come with the gum drum banging you breathless
Enemies freeze left then in defenseless
Straight for the chest of anybody against us
The more they resist it the more that they tempt us
So why keep settlin’ for so much less?
Don’t take what’s given
Just demand what’s next
We’re looking for an open door
Some way we didn’t see before
Some way to get out of here
A plot twist that we didn’t see coming
We’re looking for an open door
Some way we didn’t see before
And when we get out of here, we'll
Take off and never stop running
No, no, we'll never stop running
No, no, we'll never stop running
When we get that open door
No, no, we'll never stop running
So why keep settlin’ for so much less
Don’t take what’s given
Just demand what’s next
We’re looking for an open door
Some way we didn’t see before
Some way to get out of here
A plot twist that we didn’t see coming
We’re looking for an open door
Some way we didn’t see before
And when we get out of here, we'll
Take off and never stop running
No, no, we'll never stop running
No, no, we'll never stop running
When we get that open door
No, no, we'll never stop running
No, no, we'll never stop running
No, no, we'll never stop running
When we get that open door
No, no, we'll never stop running
