Someone in the Doorway

Ben Howard

Go find someone else
I am not ready to die
Go whisper softly
To someone else
Ask them
To lie down
You can tell 'em I'll be back in the mornin'
For now is not the time
I was there already I think, as a child
But I really can't remember why

Someone in the doorway
Someone in the light
Someone through the wall always
Someone left outside

Go find someone else
I am not ready to decide
Go whisper softly
To the man with no time
Ask him
To pick sides

You can tell 'em I'll be back in a minute
For now is not the time
Gone to find the root they all chewed on
For millennia
Do something better with my time

Someone in the doorway
Someone in the light
Someone in my hallway
Someone wearin' a new hat
Someone on the floor outside
They say you don't come back from that

Into the light of a bad dream
Into the laughter of a war
England a sedative on my tongue
Goodbye, goodbye that song
Goodbye, goodbye that song
