Keep One Door Open

[Verse 1]
You left the hallway lamp on again
For whoever might come through
I stacked the shoes beside the stairs
Made room where the walls were few
Every key you gave away
Still hangs beside the frame
Now every room is full of guests
And none of them know your name

[Pre-Chorus]
You call it kindness, I call it crowded
The floorboards bend beneath the sound

[Chorus]
Keep one door open, keep one door wide
Let the whole world in, let the walls divide
You give and give till the hinges cry
Heart like a house with no room inside
Keep one door open, keep one door wide
Who gets to stay when they all arrive?

[Verse 2]
There’s a coat on every chair back
A cup beside each bed
You say, “They needed somewhere safe,”
Then sleep out in the shed
I found your quiet in a box
Marked “maybe, someday, spare”
You built a home for everyone
And left yourself nowhere

[Pre-Chorus]
You call it kindness, I call it crowded
The floorboards bend beneath the sound

[Chorus]
Keep one door open, keep one door wide
Let the whole world in, let the walls divide
You give and give till the hinges cry
Heart like a house with no room inside
Keep one door open, keep one door wide
Who gets to stay when they all arrive?

[Bridge]
Set one key down
Let one light dim
Love isn’t lost
When you let yourself in

[Final Chorus]
Keep one door open, keep one door wide
Let the whole world in, let the walls divide
You give and give, but tonight decide:
Heart like a house—make room inside
Keep one door open, keep one door wide
Keep one door open, but come inside

[Outro]
Come inside
Come inside
