THE KEY TO MY LIFE

Verse 3

I kept a drawer of almosts, half-drawn maps

Of every door I never tried to ask

You found the lock rusted in my chest

And turned it like you knew the combination best

Pre-Chorus

So when the road splits and the signal fades

I don't need a compass, I know the way

Piano, hold that chord a little long

Let me say this right before it's gone

Chorus

You're the key to my life

The small thing I keep in my pocket

When the whole world is turning to noise

You're the quiet I can't lose

You're the key to my life

Every room I ever wanted

Was standing right here in the dark

Waiting on you

Verse 4

I used to carry Sunday like a bruise

Singing loud to cover up the truth

Now I hum a little softer in the aisle

And the hymn still works, it just took a while

Pre-Chorus

So when my hands forget what I believe

You slide the deadbolt loose and let me breathe

One more time before the bridge comes in

Let the organ and the piano spin

Bridge

And if I lose it

If I leave it on a counter somewhere

Would you bring it back to me

Would you bring it back to me

'Cause nothing I've built stands up alone

Every wall I made was just a loan

From a heart that always knew

The key was never mine, it was you

Chorus

You're the key to my life

The small thing I keep in my pocket

When the whole world is turning to noise

You're the quiet I can't lose

You're the key to my life

Every room I ever wanted

Was standing right here in the dark

Waiting on you

Post-Chorus

(You're the key) Oh, you're the key

(You're the key) Mm, to my life

(You're the key) I don't need to look no further

(You're the key) You're the key, you're the key

Verse 5

Maybe faith is just a hand that stays

Maybe love is just a door you leave unlocked in case

And I left mine open years before I knew

Somebody'd walk in wearing it like you

Pre-Chorus

So when the last note hangs above the keys

Don't rush the ending, let it land on me

Soft, the way a Sunday morning should

Say it one more time like you knew I would

Chorus

You're the key to my life

The small thing I keep in my pocket

When the whole world is turning to noise

You're the quiet I can't lose

You're the key to my life

Every room I ever wanted

Was standing right here in the dark

Waiting on you

Outro

(Got it) Ah, got it right here

(Got it) Oh-oh, right here

(Got it) Mm, right here with me

(You're the key) You're the key to my life

(Ooh, ooh) Yeah, you're the key

(Ooh, ooh) To my life

(You're the key) You're the key

(Ooh) To my life
