The Strokes — At the Door

[Verse 1] I can't escape it I'm never gonna make it out of this in time I guess that's just fine I'm not there quite yet My thoughts, such a mess Like a little boy What you runnin' for? [Pre-Chorus] Arrive at the door Anyone home? Have I lost it all? [Chorus] Struck me like a chord I'm a lonely boy Holding out the knife Lonely afterlife You begged me not to go Sinkin' like a stone Use me like an oar And get yourself to shore [Verse 2] A bang at the door Anyone home? That's just what they do Right in front of you Like a cannonball Slammin' through your wall In their face, I saw What they're fightin' for [Pre-Chorus] I can't escape it I'm never gonna make it 'til the end, I guess [Chorus] Struck me like a chord I'm a lonely boy Holding out the knife Lonely afterlife Bangin' on the door I don't wanna know Sinkin' like a stone So use me like an oar [Bridge] Hard to fight what I can't see Not tryna build no dynasty I can't see beyond this wall But we lost this game So many times before [Non-Lyrical Bridge] [Outro] I've been on a cold road I'll be waiting, yeah I'll be waiting from the other side Waiting for the tide to rise I've been on a cold road I'll be waiting, yeah I'll be waiting from the other side Waiting for the tide to rise
