The Spare Key Dance

You put a key beside my plate And didn't ask me there to stay I stared as if the tiny teeth Could lock the old fear underneath You said a door works either way I took your hand and let it play Do the spare key dance with me Love can leave the doorway free I don't have to lose my name To make a place beside your name I brought my records, left some space You liked the lamp I used to hate We danced around the moving crates And put two hooks beside the gate Do the spare key dance with me Love can leave the doorway free I don't have to lose my name To make a place beside your name I still go walking on my own You call your friends, I call it home The key grows warm inside my jeans A choice I get to make each week Do the spare key dance with me Love can leave the doorway free I don't have to lose my name To make a place beside your name Two hooks, two coats, the music low A door that opens when we choose
