lyrics

You were saved again
when he walked in like it was a sign
you fell together like a rhyme
and you could sing the harmony
Carried it down
from the moment you began to bend
always thought that you had to pretend
he was singing in key

When he called you out
you were always one to go along
Played it safer as the one who's wrong
on his side of the line in the sand
Cause every wrong turn made
it was you who walked into the trap
and now you can never take it back
or keep it from happening again

You've been standing just in the doorway
It's always been open but you could not see
you're going to learn of all the beauty you've been holding
cracked open and shining you are finally free

Well you climbed so high
and you can see the valley floor
but you can't live there anymore
no more lonesome in the pine
But every night you dream
of when you washed up from the war
Take another of the pain you poor
if we'll never leave it behind

You've been standing just in the doorway
It's always been open but you could not see
you're going to learn of all the strength you have been holding
cracked open and shining you are finally free

You have been a stranger all of your life
carrying the pieces toward the promise you'd arrive
lay down the heavy sorrow of the past
You are free at last!

Close your eyes and lift your face up to the sun
Forgive all of the things you've done
to survive this road
Do you recognize
the soul you thought you lost at sea
now polished by the storm debris
It is a seed of hope

You've been standing just in the doorway
It's always been open but you could not see
you're going to learn of all the joy you have been holding
cracked open and shining you are finally free
