Verse
Cold air creeping in
Through the cracks of the frame
The shadow of what might have been
Calling out your name
Pre-Chorus
The hallway is a hollow shell
A silent, ringing bell
I’m waiting for the heavy sound
Of footsteps on the ground
Chorus
The bolt is thrown back wide
I left the light inside
Waiting for a ghost to arrive
Keeping the hope alive
The door is unlocked tonight
Verse
Streetlights flicker and die
Static on the radio wire
Underneath a charcoal sky
Fuel for a dying fire
Pre-Chorus
The hallway is a hollow shell
A silent, ringing bell
I’m waiting for the heavy sound
Of footsteps on the ground
Chorus
The bolt is thrown back wide
I left the light inside
Waiting for a ghost to arrive
Keeping the hope alive
The door is unlocked tonight
Bridge
Empty space and iron keys
Begging on my shaking knees
The latch is cold against my hand
In this dark and vacant land
Chorus
The bolt is thrown back wide
I left the light inside
Waiting for a ghost to arrive
Keeping the hope alive
The door is unlocked tonight
Outro
Still unlocked
Still wide open
Still unlocked
The silence is broken
