[Verse 1]
I keep a little key
In the palm of my hand
I draw a crack in the wall
And the whole thing understands
There’s a thousand worlds behind these doors
Some are storms & some are shores
Some hold ghosts and some hold light
And all of them come alive at night
[Pre-Chorus]
I breathe, and they begin
I blink, and they arrive
A paper moon, a canyon wind
A thousand ways to stay alive
[Chorus]
A thousand worlds behind these doors
A thousand worlds, I want them more
Turn the handle, let them rise
All my dreams with hungry eyes
A thousand worlds behind these doors
(behind these doors)
I make them real when I adore
(come alive)
[Verse 2]
Ink on my fingertips
Dust on my windowpane
I build a child from a spark
Then teach it how to name the rain
A garden grows in the dark
A train runs through a cloud
Every secret I have kept
Turns into something loud
[Pre-Chorus]
I breathe, and they begin
I blink, and they arrive
A paper moon, a canyon wind
A thousand ways to stay alive
[Chorus]
A thousand worlds behind these doors
A thousand worlds, I want them more
Turn the handle, let them rise
All my dreams with hungry eyes
A thousand worlds behind these doors
(behind these doors)
I make them real when I adore
(come alive)
[Bridge]
If I leave, they still remain
In the margins of my mind
Every monster learns my name
Every star I left behind
[Final Chorus]
A thousand worlds behind these doors
A thousand worlds, I want them more
Turn the handle, let them rise
All my dreams with hungry eyes
A thousand worlds behind these doors
(behind these doors)
I make them real when I adore
(come alive)
A thousand worlds behind these doors
