I Swear I Saw a Door

I Swear I Saw a Door lyrics

Verse 1

The last bus turns slow
Through the empty garage
Level three again
Same cracked yellow bars

A paper moon ticket
Stuck in my coat pocket
The machine was polite
And handed me orbit

Pre-Chorus

Every arrow points home
On a wall, not a way
I keep walking the line
Like I missed my own stay

Chorus

Painted exit sign
Painted exit sign
Cartoon Moon Parking Lot
Got me parked in time

Painted exit sign
Painted exit sign
I swear I saw a door
Then it turned to design

Verse 2

Three a.m. on the dash
In a bus that won’t blink
The brake light hums soft
Like it’s trying to think

A half-finished mural
Of a sun in a cap
Keeps smiling at me
From the far back ramp

Pre-Chorus

Every turn says maybe
Every ramp says not yet
I keep circling the same
Little silver regret

Chorus

Painted exit sign
Painted exit sign
Cartoon Moon Parking Lot
Got me parked in time

Painted exit sign
Painted exit sign
I swear I saw a door
Then it turned to design

Bridge

Yeah, I’m level three, still looping, checking every painted arrow
Ticket reads like a riddle, paper moon tucked in my shadow
Bus window full of ceiling stains, I’m calm but I’m not winning
If there’s a way out, it’s shy tonight, I guess it’s busy listening

Chorus

Painted exit sign
Painted exit sign
Cartoon Moon Parking Lot
Got me parked in time

Painted exit sign
Painted exit sign
I swear I saw a door
Then it turned to design

Outro

Paper moon ticket
Warm in my hand
Painted exit sign
Still where I am
