Matt Morrell - Outside Her Room Lyrics

Headlights of a passing car
Move across the wall
See the moonlight catch your face in the mirror
Look out the window
At the morning's forming frost
Think lord how did I get myself here
Lord how did I get myself here

Like an island off the coast
Of Cuba's crowded shores
You are silent as a refugee
You left your life on another family's floors
In a room where nobody sleeps
In a room where nobody sleeps

Like an owl on a cedar limb
An icicle in the moon
You just stood outside her room
You just stood outside her room

You step through the hallway
In your untucked shirt and tie
Feel for your keys but they're not there
Lean against the door and you
Hear that sleeping sigh saying
Baby did you go anywhere?
Baby did you go anywhere

The sun is just a memory of the day you went away
When every child in the street knew your name
You see it in that passing car as you turn to go away
In the dark maybe everyone's the same
In the dark maybe everyone's the same

The ticking of your watch echoes like a revelry tune
You just stood outside her room
You just stood outsider her room
