[Chorus 1]
I've been locked out, I've been locked in
But I always seem to come back again
When you're in that room, oh what do you do?
I know that I will have you in the end
[Verse 1]
And the clouds they are crying on you
And the birds are offering up their tunes
In a shack as remote as a mansion
You escape into a place where nothing moves
[Chorus 2]
And I've been locked out, and I know we're through
But I can't begin to face up to the truth
I wait so long for the walls to crack
But I know that I will one day have you back
[Verse 2]
And the hills are as soft as a pillow
And they cast a shadow on my bed
And the view when I look through my window
Is an altarpiece I'm praying to for the living and the dead
[Bridge]
The twin valley shines in the morning sun
I send a message out to my only one
[Chorus 2]
Yet I've been locked out, and I know we're through
But I can't begin to face up to the truth
And I wait so long for the walls to crack
But I know that I will one day have you back
Yes, I will
[Verse 3]
And I work, bees in the honey
Every night, I circle like the moon
And it's an act of simple devotion
But it can take forever when you've got something to prove
[Outro]
I've been locked out
And I've been locked out
And I've been locked out
