Screen Door Lyrics

The back porch screen door

Is gonna be a problem for us, isn't it?

It's always so damn loud

At the best of

Worst times

But the screen door sounds like the start of a chapter

From a beautiful story, doesn't it?

Every time it slams

And certainly every time it tears at my big old heart

It's the same rhythm all the way through

It never changes to suit my mood

Or the lack of sleep we've been getting

So when you hear my screen door

Keep a simple mind

About what you think it says

When it whispers

When it wails

When it wails

Or whispers

Be rest assured

That my back screen door

Will wear the hinges out

And it will hang from your heart

For the rest of our

Door slamming days

Oh my darling I'm gonna need you

To keep giving me shit about the squeak

In that back porch screen door of ours

Oh my darling

I'm gonna need you

To keep talking about

That back porch screen door of ours

Oh

It's gonna be a problem for us, isn't it?
