The Strokes - At The Door Lyrics

I can't escape it

Never gonna make it

Out of this in time

I guess that's just fine

I'm not there quite yet

My thoughts, such a mess

Like a little boy

What you running for?



Arrive at the door

Anyone home?

Have I lost it all?



Struck me like a chord

I'm an ugly boy

Holding out the night

Lonely after light

You begged me not to go

Sinking like a stone

Use me like an oar

And get yourself to shore



Bang at the door

Anyone home?

It's just what they do

Right in front of you

Like a cannonball

Slamming through your wall

In their face I saw

What they're fighting for

I can't escape it

I'm never gonna make it to the end, I guess



Struck me like a chord

I'm an ugly boy

Holdin' out the night

Lonely after light

Banging on the door

I don't want to know

Sinking like a stone

So use me like an oar



Hard to fight what I can't see

Not trying to build no dynasty

I can't see beyond this wall

But we lost this game

So many times before



I been on a cold road

I'll be waiting, yeah

I'll be waiting from the other side

Waiting for the tide to rise

I been on a cold road

I'll be waiting, yeah

I'll be waiting from the other side

Waiting for the tide to rise
