Someone In The Doorway Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Go find
Someone else
I am not ready to die
Go whisper softly
To someone else
Ask them
To lie down

[Pre-Chorus]
You can tell them I'll be back in a minute
Oh now is not the time
I was there already I think
As a child
But I really can't remember why

[Chorus]
Someone in the doorway
Someone in the light
Someone through the wall always
Someone left outside

[Verse 2]
Go find
Someone else
I am not ready to decide
Go whisper softly
To the man with no time
Ask him
To pick sides
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell them I'll be back in a minute
Oh now is not the time
Gone to find the root they all chewed on
For millennia
Do something better with my time

[Chorus]
Someone in the doorway
Someone in the light
Someone in my hallway
Someone wearing a new hat
Someone on the floor outside
They say you don't come back from that

[Outro]
Into the light of a bad dream
Into the laughter of a war
England the sedative on my tongue
Goodbye
Goodbye
That's all
Goodbye
Goodbye
That's all

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
