Lyrics
Those doors swing both ways
Written by Ed Gowens 2006
(1st verse)
This old house seems so empty now, since you went away
I keep wandering through these lonely rooms as the music begins to play
Jones is on the radio. He stopped loving her today.
I want you in my arms again, but those doors, they swing both ways
(CHORUS)
You're walking through those swinging doors
You go there every day
Doesn't matter how many hearts you break
Someday you’re gonna pay
Your heart has turned to stone now
But I miss you more each day
Your new life has taken over now
but those doors, they swing both ways
(INSTRUMENTAL)
(BRIDGE)
You’re waltzing across that dance floor, with anyone you can
While I sit here in this lonely room, you’re with another man
I have always been so true to you, I loved you more each day
You’re in some one else’s arms tonight, those doors, they swing both ways
(2nd verse)
I have never felt so lonely, as I sit here alone tonight
This bottle of Jack don’t seem to help, here comes that old daylight
There’s your rings on the table, where you left them and went away
I think I’ll just see what happens in that game that two can play
CHORUS)
You're walking through those swinging doors
You go there every day
Doesn't matter how many hearts you break
Someday you’re gonna pay
Your heart has turned to stone now
But I miss you more each day
Your new life has taken over now
but those doors, they swing both ways
(TAG)
Your new life has taken over now
but those doors, they swing both ways
