Lyrics
New lock. Same door. Deadbolt. Let the whole world wait. Everybody got a reason I should open this place. Two turns, cut the noise, let the phone go dark. I can lock this door. I can't lock my heart. Brass shavings on the mat, new teeth in the key, Old lock had a little too much history. One guest brought a guest who brought a camera, Next day, my living room's online with a caption. One "quick favor" grew legs, stayed a season, Said no once, now I'm somebody's villain. I was lending out hours I could never get back, Kept a smile in the room, kept a knot in my back. Now I tighten both screws till the plate sits flush, No more "I'm downstairs" from a number I don't trust. No more midnight pitches dressed up as a catch-up, No more being rude just for asking for a heads-up. Turn the music down, hear the pipes in the wall, First night in a while I ain't needed at all. Lay the old key down like a job I quit, Watch the door stay still. Get used to it. Deadbolt. Let the whole world wait. Everybody got a reason I should open this place. Two turns, cut the noise, let the phone go dark. I can lock this door. I can't lock my heart. Third night, same stillness, different kind of weight, Phone lights up: "You got time? Could use a face." It's the one who helped me carry every box upstairs, Never took a picture, never told folks he was there. I type, "Protecting my peace." Delete the whole thing. Read it back once—what a cold little sentence. He ain't asking for a loan, ain't pitching me a plan, Said the house feels strange since his girl took the plants. I stare at that message like it came with a fee, Know what he's asking; know what it costs me: Put a coat on, ride over, listen till it's late, Let somebody else's weather interrupt my day. I had good reasons when I changed that lock, Then I started using all of them for every knock. Text, "Still up?" Three dots. Then, "Yeah." Now I'm hunting for my other shoe under the chair. Some people take. That part stayed true. Some people call 'cause they'd pick up for you. My hand on the brass, all the rooms gone black, I check that I got my key, then turn it back. Deadbolt. Let the whole world wait. I still choose who gets to come inside this place. Two turns, cut the noise, let the phone go dark. I can lock this door. I can't lock my heart. Keep the lock on the door, keep a little room for trust. I'm on my way now. You ain't gotta clean up. You eat yet? I'll bring something.
