This house is echoing 

With the sound of You knocking at the door 

But with three locks 

And the shades down 

You are easy to ignore 

I put You on like an old pair of shoes 

I've put You off, but now I need You 



Why, this love that never leaves me 

Why are You holding me tonight 

Can't deny this love that is given me 

Why, this love will never leave 



You're a good strategy when I need one 

An angle when there is none 

Like a doormat 

That always says welcome 

No matter how much dirt I rub on 

But when I am tired and run through 

Look over this hill, I'm running to You
