[Verse 1]
I clip my tag on straight
Smile like a switchblade
Coffee on the counter
Keys on the same ring
Count the names, count the hours
Hold the line by the glass
Sayde in the doorway
I let the night pass
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you walk in slow
Like you own the room
I lift my chin up
And I tell the truth
[Chorus]
Sayde, open the door
I know what I'm here for
Sayde, open the door
Let me in, let me in more
Sayde, open the door
I can take the cold war
Sayde, open the door
(door, door) let me in more
[Verse 2]
He tries a fake laugh
She forgets her badge
Someone drops a card
On the tile, on the mat
I keep my cool face on
Even when it stings
Little paper kingdom
With a hundred tiny kings
[Pre-Chorus]
Then you look at me
Like you know my name
I square my shoulders
And I say it again
[Chorus]
Sayde, open the door
I know what I'm here for
Sayde, open the door
Let me in, let me in more
Sayde, open the door
I can take the cold war
Sayde, open the door
(door, door) let me in more
[Bridge]
If the floor shakes hard
I don't step back
If the night gets loud
I don't lose track
Hands on the latch now
Heart in the roar
I was made for the line
I was made for the door
[Final Chorus]
Sayde, open the door
I know what I'm here for
Sayde, open the door
Let me in, let me in more
Sayde, open the door
I can take the cold war
Sayde, open the door
(door, door) let me in more
