Leave An Open Door Lyrics

I can see the light all around your silhouette
Leave an open door behind you
My heart went running after you
but I ain’t caught it yet
Leave an open door behind you

Leave an open door

Sing about the dawn
in the middle of the night
Leave…
Stumble through the dark
so that we might see the light
Leave…

Leave an open door
Leave an open door
Leave an open door behind you
Leave an open door behind you

Carry on…
Carry on…
Carry on…
Carry on…
Leave an open door

Destitution…
Persecution…
Retribution…
Execution…
Revolution!
Restitution!!
Absolution!!!
Evolution!!!!

Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers,
We never run out of hope if we can love one another!
When they raise the price of bread
When the lower the wage
Together we hold our key inside of their cage!
Carry on….

Leave an open door
Leave an open door
Leave an open door behind you

We can see the light all around your silhouette….

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
