Nicholas John - You Can Knock on My Door (You Better Learn to Swim Again) Lyrics

You can knock on my door
Half of what it's there for
If I'm not at home then write me up a note
If I'm just asleep underneath the mat's a key
You can come inside find the dog he's resting at my feet

I patched the hole on the wall
It's a different color that's all
I fixed the light out on the back porch just in case you call
The dog misses you maybe I do too
Take your time stop on by when your passing through

You ran from the known
Saw dust in your bones
Sawdust on my clothes
Makes this house a home

You can knock on my door
No one knocks here no more
Since you left our home I ain't opened up your note
It's lying there unread on the table by the bed
I close my eyes to pass the time and you're dancing 'round my head

Don't mind the sunrise
I'll be gone before you rise
Dear love once was
You know and I know it's too much fuss to go and work things out
Don't want to work things out
Go on and clean the floors
Go on and fix that door
You got work for now but when the work runs out
And everything is fixed
Well you won't have shit

I won't miss that mangy mutt
Just slobbing and sleeping around caked in mud
This all was good once
But if it smells like shit it's shit I do trust
And when you read this here
Know that I'm far from here
On some dusty road
You know I'm not that old
Knowing what I know I could die alone
I'm never coming back
I only promise you that
