Don't Let the Door Decide (v2)

[Intro]

Ash on the piano, salt on the sea

Two distant voices calling me

[Verse 1]

You left your silver ring beside the cup

The tea went cold, but I stayed up

I read the last line twice, then turned away

Your name was folded in the paper tray

[Pre-Chorus]

If you hear me, answer low

There’s a road only we know

[Chorus]

Come back, come back, don’t let the door decide

Come back, come back, stand on the other side

I call your name, you send it through the blue

One heart breaks, one heart answers you

[Verse 2]

The old brass key still rests beneath the book

I keep it there though you never look

Your photograph is fading at the edge

But every promise keeps its shape

[Pre-Chorus]

If you hear me, answer low

There’s a road only we know

[Chorus]

Come back, come back, don’t let the door decide

Come back, come back, stand on the other side

I call your name, you send it through the blue

One heart breaks, one heart answers you

[Rap Bridge]

I count the tiles, I count the days

Your silence wears a hundred faces

No grand goodbye, no final scene

Just one small room and what might have been

I took the long way past the market gate

Still half-convinced you’d make me wait

If love is debt, I paid it clean

Now tell me what the distance means

[Call and Response]

[Voice A]

Do you remember?

[Voice B]

I remember every word.

[Voice A]

Do you still tremble?

[Voice B]

Only when your voice is heard.

[Final Chorus]

Come back, come back, don’t let the door decide

Come back, come back, stand on the other side

I call your name, you send it through the blue

One heart breaks, one heart answers you

[Outro]

Ash on the piano, salt on the sea

Two distant voices, still calling me
