Kingdom of the Door

Intro

Oh-oh

Mm-hmm

Chorus

I decline your smile

Decline it every time

You pour it like a promise

I pour it down the drain

I decline your smile

Decline it soft and slow

You offer me a kingdom

I offer you the door

Verse 1

You walked in glowing

Hands behind your back

Something wrapped in ribbon

Something I don't want

I have seen your kind before

Painted pretty fences

Talking slick and low

I read the fine print darling

Every clause and comma

Every little no

Pre-Chorus

So don't lean closer

Don't rehearse that line

I know the ending

I've memorized the ending

Chorus

I decline your smile

Decline it every time

You pour it like a promise

I pour it down the drain

I decline your smile

Decline it soft and slow

You offer me a kingdom

I offer you the door

Post-Chorus

No no no

N-n-no no

No no no

N-n-no no

Verse 2

Black coffee mornings

You called them quaint

I called them honest

I called them mine

You wanted softer lighting

Wanted sweeter wine

Wanted me to laugh at

Every joke you spun

I spun the other way instead

I spun and I was gone

Pre-Chorus

So don't lean closer

Don't rehearse that line

I know the ending

I've memorized the ending

Chorus

I decline your smile

Decline it every time

You pour it like a promise

I pour it down the drain

I decline your smile

Decline it soft and slow

You offer me a kingdom

I offer you the door

Post-Chorus

No no no

N-n-no no

No no no

N-n-no no

Bridge

Take it back

Take it far

Take your careful charm

Fold it neat

Fold it small

Tuck it in your palm

I am not a mirror

I am not a wall

I am not the girl who

Falls for every call

Drop

I decline your smile

I decline your smile

Decline decline decline

I decline your smile

Chorus

I decline your smile

Decline it every time

You pour it like a promise

I pour it down the drain

I decline your smile

Decline it soft and slow

You offer me a kingdom

I offer you the door
