Sliding Doors by Olly Murs Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He's writing the crossword so he doesn't notice me
I'm staring 'cross the room and so is she
Looking at you I wonder
If there's somewhere else you'd rather be
He pays her no attention as he takes another call
I just want to rescue her from it all
I wanna rock right over
Say you don't need him anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Let's just pretend we're somebody else
And I was someone that you want for yourself
No secrets that hide and we leave the past behind
[Chorus]
Why don't we just go
Walk right out the door
When we're leaving
We won't look back anymore
Why don't we just go, go, go
Go, go, go
[Verse 2]
If I was to gamble would I win or would I lose
Tell you where my thoughts are racing to
Is it too much to handle
Or would I be the one you'd choose
[Pre-Chorus]
Let's just pretend we're somebody else
And I was someone that you want for yourself
No secrets that hide and we leave the past behind
[Chorus 2]
Why don't we just go
Walk right out the door
When we're leaving
We won't look back anymore
All these sliding doors
That we could explore
All the lifetimes
When you were mine
That we lived before
[Bridge]
We've come so close
But you're so far
Still I can feel everything that you are
You're in my head
You're in my heart
No happy end if we don't even start
[Chorus 2]
Why don't we just go
Walk right out the door
When we're leaving
We won't look back anymore
All these sliding doors
That we could explore
All the lifetimes
When you were mine
That we lived before
[Post-Chorus]
We've come so close
But you're so far
Still I can feel everything that you are
You're in my head, in my head
You're in my heart, in my heart
No happy end if we don't even start
We've come so close, so close
But you're so far, so far
Still I can feel everything that you are
You're in my head, in my head
You're in my heart, in my heart
No happy end if we don't even start
He's writing the crossword so he doesn't notice me
I'm staring 'cross the room and so is she
Looking at you I wonder
If there's somewhere else you'd rather be
He pays her no attention as he takes another call
I just want to rescue her from it all
I wanna rock right over
Say you don't need him anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
Let's just pretend we're somebody else
And I was someone that you want for yourself
No secrets that hide and we leave the past behind
[Chorus]
Why don't we just go
Walk right out the door
When we're leaving
We won't look back anymore
Why don't we just go, go, go
Go, go, go
[Verse 2]
If I was to gamble would I win or would I lose
Tell you where my thoughts are racing to
Is it too much to handle
Or would I be the one you'd choose
[Pre-Chorus]

And I was someone that you want for yourself
No secrets that hide and we leave the past behind
[Chorus 2]

We won't look back anymore
All these sliding doors

[Bridge]
We've come so close

You're in my heart

Why don't we just go
Walk right out the door
When we're leaving
We won't look back anymore
All these sliding doors
That we could explore
All the lifetimes
When you were mine
That we lived before
[Post-Chorus]
We've come so close
But you're so far
Still I can feel everything that you are
You're in my head, in my head
You're in my heart, in my heart
No happy end if we don't even start
We've come so close, so close
But you're so far, so far
Still I can feel everything that you are
You're in my head, in my head
You're in my heart, in my heart
No happy end if we don't even start
