Lyrics
[Verse 1] That old feeling of discomfort When a good thing settles in When the days begin repeating And the walls start closing in Then I start to hear a warning In the things I liked before Start collecting little reasons To put one foot out the door [Verse 2] I can turn a quiet evening Into proof that something's wrong Take a pause in conversation And keep thinking on it too long I can make a small annoyance Mean I shouldn't want you more Build a case from scraps and fragments With one foot out the door [Chorus] One foot out the door One eye on the end Half in love with leaving Before leaving even begins One foot out the door Before there's cause for doubt Always making sure I'm ready If I need to get back out [Verse 3] I kept waiting for the feeling That would settle every doubt Something clear enough to tell me What to keep and what to cut out But certainty is good at hiding When you ask it to be sure So I blamed the lack of answers And kept one foot out the door [Bridge] Doubt can pass without a message Quiet doesn't mean we're through Every life looks clean from distance Every choice obscures a view Kept treating every exit Like a proof that I was free Till I saw the open doorway Was the thing that governed me [Final Chorus] One foot out the door One eye on the end Half in love with leaving Before leaving even begins One foot out the door But I know the feeling now It arrives, I let it pass And I don't follow it out. Anymore. [Outro] I don't follow it out anymore.
