under the mat

[Verse 1]
She went to church, she was from the 'burbs
When she passed, all the heads turned
I'm from New York, rode a skateboard and camped out on a corner
She and I didn't see eye to eye on politics and such
But when I tell you, oh, none of that mattered
When we got together, it was love

[Pre-Chorus]
I saw her at her worst, still, I desired her
I learned to read her eyes and know when she would lie
I watched her start to hate me 'til she could no longer take me, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
She locked the door, but she left the key under the mat
Oh, and I've known this for a while, but I am still too afraid to act
Oh, and it's coming off the hinges, from the wall, it has detached
Oh, and I've known this for a while, but I am still too afraid to act

[Verse 2]
We moved into a shoebox out of school and it felt like a honeymoon
She'd go to work while I made my songs
For a moment there, it was just us two

[Pre-Chorus]
I saw her at her worst, still, I desired her
I learned to read her eyes and know when she would lie
I watched her start to hate me 'til she could no longer take me, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
She locked the door, but she left the key under the mat
Oh, and I've known this for a while, but I am still too afraid to act
Oh, and it's coming off the hinges, from the wall, it has detached
Oh, and I've known this for a while, but I am still too afraid to act

[Bridge]
I was doing fine until it hit me on a random day in July
That she'll never be mine again in this lifetime
I was doing fine until it hit me on a random day in July
That I'll never be satisfied 'cause she will never be mine

[Chorus]
She locked the door, but she left the key under the mat
Oh, and I've known this for a while, but I am still too afraid to act
Oh, and it's coming off the hinges, from the wall, it has detached
Oh, and I've known this for a while, but I am still too afraid to act

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
That's the album, man
