Doors — Lyrics

Artist: Noah Kahan

Album: The Great Divide


I grew up pretending sticks were little guns I would point 'em at my dad and he'd get mad 'cause God forbid I hurt someone I'd hurt anyone I could Anyone who got too close, anyone who wouldn't look I was born into a one-hundred-year storm Foot of ice across Vermont, and in that dark, and in that frost a heart was formed Malcontented and unwarm You were unsuspecting, not unwarned That I'm the trouble ahead That I scream in my sleep You're putting money on red, I'm a sure bet at a losing streak I keep showing you doors, but you can't open them up Cuz it gets harder to see me the closer you try to look I just live here babe, but you're the one who decided to knock You knocked Have you ever stared directly at the sun?
