The Combination Lock Lyrics

If you solve the combination lock upon the doors that keep my heart inside of me

We could walk together down these dirty sidewalks as if we were in some field of green

Though for now I keep my hand above my chest to hide the light so it can't find its way

To the eye that you are using to observe me and the dances we do every day

And it's not a simple feat just to interpret all the reasons that I long for you

Maybe it's some kind of rarely spoken notion we could help each other make it through

And I hope when you come round it's all because you feel the need to seek my company

Though it scares me half to death to make a move as the intention isn't plain to see

Not long ago,

I got myself into some trouble don't you know

I thought intent was all I needed, nothing more

And so I bent myself to fit until I broke

And so it goes

I find myself forever longing to be whole

To trade my secrets with another gentle soul

And turn the weight of all my failures in to gold

Is it just the situations that we always seem to find each other standing in?

Maybe you've been standing here for far too long and I'm the one who hasn't let you in

And I'd like to be the final name upon the list of others that have come around

Though I'd die before you see me as a man who only lives his life to keep you down

Not long ago,

I got myself into some trouble don't you know

I tried to change the way that running river flows

And found myself with no direction left to go

And time will tell

If it blossoms up and grows or goes to hell

If you'll be taken for the pieces that you sell

You'll never know until you see it for yourself
