the visitors - shaina taub lyrics
[verse 1]
the visitors come knocking at my door
paying me a nightly call
sorrow shows up early
while worry paces up and down the hall
fear comes around once a week, always trying to sell me something
and envy gives me flowers from the neighbor’s lawn
[chorus 1]
the visitors come knocking at my door
i’m the mat they step upon
[verse 2]
the visitors come knocking at my door
some for dinner, some for tea
loneliness can overstay his welcome
but i could use the company
grief sleeps at my feet, next to doubt
don’t have the heart to kick them out
and pity throws me parties now and then
[chorus 2]
the visitors come knocking at my door
here they come again
[pre-bridge]
lord knows they’ve made my place a mess
but i love them anyway i guess
why do the hardest feelings make the easiest guests?
[bridge]
not like trust, what a flake, cancels every plan we make
and courage rings the bell, but then he runs away
and hope means well, but i prefer her brother dread
and joy can be swell, but misery’s better in bed
and forgiveness is not invited anymore
still she sits on my stoop, on loop saying:
‘i know you’re in there, let me in
you gotta come outside sometime
i know you’re in there, let me in
you gotta come outside sometime
i know you’re in there, let me in
you gotta come outside sometime’
[pre-chorus]
you know the hardest feelings wanna be your guest
[chorus 3]
so when the visitors come knocking at your door
be careful who you host
[outro]
the ones who hurt the worst
are the ones you love the most
