[Verse]

I’ve been running in circles

Trying to explain

Words like water

They fall down the drain

Your ears are closed

Your heart’s on mute

I’m stuck here screaming

But it’s no use

[Chorus]

You’re not ready for more

No

No

Can’t unlock a door when the key won’t go

I’ve been knocking

I’ve been waiting

But you’re not ready for more

No debating

[Verse 2]

I could paint it in colors

Bright and bold

Spell it out like a story untold

But you’re lost in your own little maze

I’m done setting fire to your haze

[Chorus]

You’re not ready for more

No

No

Can’t unlock a door when the key won’t go

I’ve been knocking

I’ve been waiting

But you’re not ready for more

No debating

[Bridge]

Time’s a thief

And I’ve spent too much

Trying to fix what I can’t touch

I’m a flame

And you’re the rain

Won’t keep lighting matches in vain

[Chorus]

You’re not ready for more

No

No

Can’t unlock a door when the key won’t go

I’ve been knocking

I’ve been waiting

But you’re not ready for more

No debating
