One Key

[Verse 1 — metallic rhythm, pulsing bass]
I changed the locks a hundred times
Cut every key to your design
I built a world where you feel safe
You found one door that wouldn't stay

[Pre-Chorus — echoing vocal]
My own front door is painted blue
I lost the key while helping you

[Chorus — soaring melody]
Click-click, turn the key
Everybody's safe but me
Every bolt I drive in place
Takes another inch of space
I'd melt the locks and leave them open
Walk into the great unknown
But people sleeping in these rooms
Deserve the safety of a home
(Open up, open up)

[Verse 2 — syncopated bass]
You want a lock without a key
A guarantee that nothing leaves

[Bridge — slow vocal harmony]
Maybe freedom isn't fire
Maybe I can change one lock
Maybe love could learn to knock
Instead of owning every door

[Outro — gentle dissonance]
I cut one key that bears my name
And keep it somewhere safe
