The Basics Keep The Door Open lyrics

Woman, can you tell me
What it is to love someone?
I thought that getting older
I'd be wiser than I was

Every time I get close to you
I end up right back at the start
So, woman, can you tell me
What it is to love and be loved by someone?

Woman can you hear me?
'Cause you know the mess I'm in
This pain you got me going through
Is like the ghost of what could have been

And I look out for a sign
Something to tell me I'm getting through to you
But you close your eyes, and woman
I can't open them for you

So it's time I went away
It's time I gave you space
It's time I gave myself the chance
To find some peace of mind someday

But I'll keep the door open for ya
And if you ever find a way
To make it back to me someday
I'll keep the door open for ya
'Cause there's a fire burns inside
And a love I cannot hide

I'll keep the door open for ya

Woman, can I ask you
Do you regret the things you said?
I could never leave you nor forsake you
And there's no bitterness from my end

But can you acknowledge one thing before I go
There's something special in what we had
I know it's hard to see it now, woman
But it'll work out in the end

So it's time I went away
It's time I gave you space
It's time I gave myself the chance
To find some peace of mind someday

But I'll keep the door open for ya
And if you ever find a way
To make it back to me someday
I'll keep the door open for ya
'Cause there's a fire burns inside
And a love I cannot hide

I'll keep the door open for ya
If you ever find a way
To make it back to me someday
I'll keep the door open for ya
