Close the door behind you
On your way out
Lindsey’s been home for months trying to find herself
Just a yellow shade of gloom
She couldn’t bring to throw away
So they built a house around her room
And that’s where she’ll always stay
(She’ll always stay.)
Close the door behind you
Leave us no doubt
I’ve been working longer days hoping you might be found
Now that yellow shade of gloom
Has turned to darker shades of gray
I’m growing selfish in this city
And that’s where I’ll always stay
(I’ll always stay)
I can still remember
When she used to say
“Let’s run away to Morocco or Paris
We’ll spеak in transatlantic
And pretend that we’rе famous”
Close the door behind you
Nothings changed now
She’s used to floral pattern dresses from
Those hand me downs
And that yellow shade of gloom
Is now a distant memory
We felt so permanent together
But we knew we couldn’t stay
All those nights spent
Listening to our parents records
It meant everything
But you were too afraid to say
“Let’s run away to Morocco or Paris
We’ll speak in transatlantic
And pretend that we’re famous”
Can you see it all now?
We could all live together in
One big house
Not here, somewhere nice
Where the summer smiles all the time
And there’s no lies
We can pick up where we left off in a past life
“Let’s run away to Morocco or Paris
We’ll speak in transatlantic
And pretend that we’re famous”
Still you got to go already
But you just got here now
Close the door behind you
On your way out
