Could've been like before 
Could've had to lock the door 

Make your mind 
Let the door, let the door swing 
Only one, 
Only one to let the door 

Wanted to pretend he's dead 
Didn't have to pretend 

Make your mind 
Let the door, let the door swing 
Only one, 
Only one to let the door 

All this and more 
Makes no sense to me 
All this and more 
Makes me drown 

Let me know if it's alright 
Let me know if you just might

Make your mind 
Let the door, let the door swing 
Only one, 
Only one to let the door 

All this and more 
Makes no sense to me 
All this and more 
Makes no sense to me 
All this and more 
Makes no sense to me 
All this and more 
Makes me drown
