Noah Kahan Doors Lyrics

Lyrics From Live Performance

[Verse 1]
I grew up pretending sticks were little guns
I would point 'em at my dad, and he'd get mad
'Cause God forbid I'd hurt someone
I'd hurt anyone I could
Anyone who got too close, and anyone who wouldn't look

[Verse 2]
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 unprotected, not unwarned

[Chorus]
That I'm the trouble ahead, and I scream in my sleep
You put your money on red, I'm a sure bet at a losing streak
I keep showing you doors, but you can't opеn them up
It gets harder to see mе the closer you try to look

[Post-Chorus]
I just live here, babe, but you're the one who decided to knock
You knock

[Bridge]
Have you ever stared directly at the Sun?
Have you ever shared some closeness so exposed to have it spit back by someone?
So, forgive me if I jump
At the rattle of your keys, "Oh, are you leaving?", "No, babe, I'm just waking up"
But now what?
I'm left staring at the ceiling, listing reasons you should pack all your shit up [Chorus]
I'm the trouble ahead, and I scream in my sleep
You put your money on red, I'm a sure bet at a losing streak
I keep showing you doors, but you can't open them up
It gets harder to see me the closer you try to look

[Post-Chorus]
I just live here, babe, but you're the one who decided to knock
You knock
I just live here, babe, but you're the one who decided to knock
You knock
But you knocked
You knocked

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I'm the trouble ahead, and I scream in my sleep
You put your money on red, I'm a sure bet at a losing streak
I keep showing you doors, but you can't open them up
It gets harder to see me the closer you try to look

[Post-Chorus]
I just live here, babe, but you're the one—
I just live here, babe, but you're the one—
I just live here, babe, but you're the one—
You're the one—, you're the one—
You're the one—
You're the one—, you're the one—
You're the one—, you're the one—

[Outro]
The [f*ck?], why'd you knock?
