Doorway by Civil Twilight Lyrics
Cold lips, cold hands, cold feet
On the street, there's no shelter from the heart’s beat
Faster and faster the winds blow down from the north
Sweeping these streets like ghosts on a march to war
A march to war
Outside there's a silhouette, changing her name
Changing her face every time I look away
We sway in the yellow light
With no more strength to fight
There are so many dreams that fade away
So many lives we just can't save
If you want this so bad
Then why do you stand like you do in the doorway
Come in, come in, come in
Come in
I never wanted anything like I want you
There are so many dreams that fade away
So many lives we just can't save
If we want this so bad
Then why do we stand like we do in the doorway
If this is it then why do I wait
All tangled up in the strings of fate
If I want this so bad
Then why do i stand like I do
Come in
I never wanted anything like I want you
On the street, there's no shelter from the heart’s beat
Faster and faster the winds blow down from the north
Sweeping these streets like ghosts on a march to war
A march to war
Outside there's a silhouette, changing her name
Changing her face every time I look away
We sway in the yellow light
With no more strength to fight
There are so many dreams that fade away
So many lives we just can't save
If you want this so bad
Then why do you stand like you do in the doorway
Come in, come in, come in
Come in
I never wanted anything like I want you
There are so many dreams that fade away
So many lives we just can't save
If we want this so bad
Then why do we stand like we do in the doorway
If this is it then why do I wait
All tangled up in the strings of fate
If I want this so bad
Then why do i stand like I do
Come in
I never wanted anything like I want you
