[Verse 1]
I only go where I'm wanted
You go only where you want
I aim to be more like you
There is a ghost in my house
Rattling handles on every door
Show us an open window or two
Would you, ho-woah
[Chorus]
Doors are starting to close and you drew a rose, my, my
Your mind, it is original, oh
Yeah, you're a skeleton key opening me, my, my
Your mind, it is original, girl, you're the original
[Post-Chorus]
Always were and always will be
[Verse 2]
The flowers of adaptation
Unfold and lovingly alarm
You effortlessly ring that bell
Your stripes are yours and yours only
The bough ideal of rare birds
And now I am under your spell
Ho-woah, under your spell
[Chorus]
Doors are starting to close and you drew a rose, my, my
Your mind, it is original, oh
Yeah, you're a skeleton key opening me, my, my
Your mind, it is original, girl, you're the original
[Post-Chorus]
Always were, always were
Always were, always were
Always were and will be
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Doors are starting to close and you drew a rose, my, my
Your mind, it is original, oh
Yeah, you're a skeleton key opening me, my, my
Your mind, it is original, girl, you're the original
[Post-Chorus]
Always were and always will be
