Closing the Doors (3:09)

I’ve been waiting for you, my dear
I’ve been waiting for you
over valleys and mountains
it helps to keep counting the days
and last night felt kind of strange, my dear
last night felt kind of strange
all those blankets and sheets
and those lies through your teeth that i fell through
and closing the doors and never helped me close up the room
now i’m hosting the gathering
when all the men will be boys
and the girls sing the chorus again
and i’ve been writing your name, sweet pea
I’ve been writing your name

on the hotel halls and all the bathroom stalls
it’s for you
and you came to one of my shows
i saw your face from the candle light glow
and my fingers forgot where to push in the knots of the wood
in closing the doors never helped me close up the room
now i’m hosting the gathering
when all the men will be boys and the girls sing the chorus again, again
and closing the doors never helped me close up the room
now i’m hosting the gathering
when all the men will be boys and the girls sing the chorus again.
and holding your hand never helped me forget the truth.
now i’m hoping your right this time,
and all the men will grow up
and the girls start to see a new day
that all the men will grow up
and the girls start to see a new day
but all the men will be boys
and the girls sing the chorus again.
