Anyone Inside (3:42) © 2005 Jason Paul Johnston
Pull the curtains, yes I'm certain, I'm going in so you're staying there.
Turn the door lock, barricade out, you're looking in but all you see is glare.
Turn the phone off, silence the door bell, you might as well stop cause I'm holding on.
You keep on knocking, I'm watching the clock and, I'll give you an hour before you stop.

Don't let anyone inside...

Sure, I'm making excuses, but honesty's useless when I'm safe behind this barbwire of lies.
You say there's always a first step, well tell that to regret. I can't go back now, but I can still hide.
I'll buy up some time for us, finance something you lost, that bigger house could be some warmth tonight.
Turn on the TV, tune into reality, stare together and maybe we won't fight.

Never make eye contact, never make eye contact, never make eye contact, no don't...

Please Don't Leave me outside all alone
You're all I have and all I call a home
Please don't leave me, please don't leave me oh...
