Standing in the Doorway (demo) Songtext
von Jenny Lewis

I′m walking through the summer nights
Jukebox playing low
Yesterday everything was going too fast
Today, it's moving too slow
I got no place left to turn
Got nothing left to burn
Don′t know if I saw you, if I would kiss you or kill you
It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow
You left me standing in the doorway crying
I got nothing to go back to now


The light in this place is oh, so bad
Making me sick in the head
All the laughter is just making me sad
The stars have turned cherry red
I'm strumming on my gay guitar
Smoking a cheap cigar
The ghost of our old love has not gone away
Don′t look like it will anytime soon
You left me standing in the doorway crying
Under the midnight moon

Maybe they′ll get me, maybe they won't
But not tonight and it won′t be here
There are things I could say but I don't
I know the mercy of God must be near
I′ve been riding the midnight train
Got ice water in my veins
I would be crazy if I took you back
It would go up against every rule
You left me standing in the doorway crying
Suffering like a fool
You left me standing in the doorway crying
Suffering like a fool
