Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The mop is hung up straight
The sink shines cold and white
Shoes lined by the mat
Bills face down, out of sight
I wiped the marks on the wall
Counted cracks in the paint
Took a deep breath, then two
Trying not to look faint
[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "I'll be there soon"
Now the whole day's gone by
Every car in the lane
Makes my shoulders climb high
[Chorus]
Ring the bell, ring the bell
Please don't make me wait
House is ready as can be
I just hate this state
Ring the bell, ring the bell
Let the moment end
My heart's on the doormat
Waiting for your hand
[Verse 2]
I folded every towel
Like a little white flag
Bleached the tub till it gleamed
Put the trash in the bag
Even moved the spare chair
Fixed the crooked blind
Now I'm pacing these rooms
Like a thief with a fine
[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "I'll be there soon"
Now I'm stuck in the frame
Every breath at the door
Feels like it knows my name
[Chorus]
Ring the bell, ring the bell
Please don't make me wait
House is ready as can be
I just hate this state
Ring the bell, ring the bell
Let the moment end
My heart's on the doormat
Waiting for your hand
[Bridge]
If she's early, if she's late
If she frowns at the floor
I'll stand here like I mean it
With my keys by the door
I did all I could do
I made the corners neat
Still my skin goes tight
At the sound of her feet
[Chorus]
Ring the bell, ring the bell
Please don't make me wait
House is ready as can be
I just hate this state
Ring the bell, ring the bell
Let the moment end
My heart's on the doormat
Waiting for your hand

Style
Indie-pop with a tense mid-tempo pulse, swung hand percussion and a tight kick-snare groove; verse stays sparse with muted guitar and ticking keys, pre-chorus opens with filtered synth lift and breathy doubles, chorus lands on stacked female harmonies and a chantable hook. Door chime samples, reversed swells, and little piano stabs thread the transitions; bright but nervy mix, intimate close-mic lead with wide backing vocals on the hook., female vocals

Song about waiting for the landlady to show up and do her inspection, and she’s late. Now the extra anxiety waiting/dreading the ring of the doorbell. The house is as ready as it gets. Female vocals
