Lyrics

Verse

Cold light on the floor
Shadows stretch across the hall
I don't check the lock no more
I'm waiting for your call
The evening turns to grey
The silence starts to bloom

Chorus

I left the door unlocked for you
The latch is loose, the light is blue
I left the door unlocked for you
But the night is empty, through and through

Verse

The streetlamps hum a low refrain
Driving bass against the pane
I watch the driveway, dark and wide
With nothing left to keep inside

Chorus

I left the door unlocked for you
The latch is loose, the light is blue
I left the door unlocked for you
But the night is empty, through and through

Bridge

Static in the heavy air
A hollow ghost of a prayer
The hinges creak a lonely sound
In a house where no one's found

Chorus

I left the door unlocked for you
The latch is loose, the light is blue
I left the door unlocked for you
But the night is empty, through and through
