Doors I Painted Shut Songtext
von The Wonder Years

I don′t wanna die
At least not without you
Alone here in the August heat
In the shadows of the afternoon

I don't wanna die
But I′m petrified of getting up
And there's a draft coming from underneath
A door I swore I'd painted shut

I′m staring at the sun
Even though I′m sure that I'm asleep
And it′s expanding out to swallow us
I can feel the low, persistent heat


I don't try to run
I wait out there on the porch swing
And in the orange glow and eerie calm
The continent slides off into the sea

I don′t wanna stay
Under the low clouds of a humid heat
I'm singing softly out of tune
I can never find the key

I don′t wanna die
Or maybe I do
'Cause everything's so fucking dark
You found me crying in the other room

It′s been years since I′ve been low like this
I don't like me
Playing piano with a broken wrist
I don′t like me


And I've been waiting at the window sill
I don′t like me
I need you to know I love you still
I don't like me
