one request

Verse 1

If you wanna come into my life, the door is open

I even oiled the hinges, yeah, I noticed

If you wanna leave, I won’t slam it shut

I’ve done the chasing thing, I’ve had enough

But you’re standing there like it’s a photo op

One foot in love, one foot in “let’s not”

I’m late for my own damn future, baby

While you rehearse what you’re afraid to say

Pre-Chorus

I’m all green lights, you’re a blinking red

This situationship lives rent-free in my head

Chorus

If you’re in, come in, don’t hover around

If you’re out, walk out, don’t linger in doubt

I don’t mind goodbye, I don’t mind pain

But don’t make my heart your loading lane

Just one request, I’m begging you please

Don’t stand in the doorway of me

I got places to go, a life to drive

You’re blocking traffic in my mind

Verse

You say “what are we?” like it’s abstract art

I say it’s a door, not a guess-my-heart

You keep checking the weather, scared of rain

I’ve been dancing in storms, what’s one more day?

My friends say “girl, that’s a caution sign”

I say “yeah, but he reads me like a stop sign”

Pre-Chorus

I don’t need forever written in stone

I just need you to pick a direction home

Chorus

If you’re in, come in, don’t hesitate

If you’re out, don’t ghost me in the frame

I can take the truth, I’ll be fine

But I can’t live on the yellow line

Just one request, set me free

Don’t stand in the doorway of me

Say yes, say no, let it be

But don’t block the road between you and me

I’m not a museum, don’t tour my heart

Don’t read the plaques then forget to start

You don’t get to pause me mid-scene

While you decide what I mean

If you’re in, come in like you mean it now

If you’re out, that’s okay, just say it out loud

I’ll cry for a night, then I’ll be alright

I heal fast when the truth is right

Just one request, honestly

Don’t stand in the doorway of me

I’ve got songs to write, roads to see

And you’re blocking traffic in my destiny

The door’s still open, that part’s true

But I’m done holding it open for you
