Just a Door

from Small Kindness by Englewood

/

lyrics

It’s Monday and it’s foggy and I’ve
Finished all my coffee, and I
Tried to fix the door that’s stuck, but
All the things I tried had no luck.
Drove out to the hardware store.
They had no tools to fix my door.
So I just bought a hammer and came home.

It’s Tuesday and it’s time to go and
Walk the dogs and feed the cats, and
Clean the kennels and the cages,
Giving lots of treats and pats.
But when I leave I have to stop
At yet another hardware shop
To try to find a tool to fix that door.

And now I think some more about
That stubborn office door.
How maybe it means something more;
Maybe it’s a metaphor.
But does it mean I’m stuck inside,
Or does it mean I’m stuck outside.
I don’t know. I cannot decide.

It’s Wednesday and I don’t have time to
Fix the door and so my friends,
You’ll have to wait ‘til Thursday to find
Out the way this story ends.
So let’s relax and watch the baseball game
Out in the sun and have a
Hotdog and a beer and then go home.

And now I think some more about
That stubborn office door.
How maybe it means something more;
Maybe it’s a metaphor.
But does it mean I’m stuck inside,
Or does it mean I’m stuck outside.
Who knows? I can’t decide.

But it’s Thursday and the door is working
Like a door is supposed to work.
It opens when it’s supposed to open,
Closes when it’s supposed to shut.

I never did decide if there’s a
Metaphor inside this project,
But I do suspect it’s just a door.

And just like life I can’t decide
If there’s another meaning inside,
Or if it’s all just a door.

And just like life I can’t decide
If there’s another meaning inside,
Or if it’s…. just a door. Nothing more. Just a door.
