Threshold And The Runaway- Key of G
Written by Mallory Graham, Scott Tyler
Copyright 2019 Penny Jar Publishing

I can’t find anything in here, All these open minds in an open place
You don’t wanna be so young and I think growing up is such a waste
You don’t want to play house anymore
You’re left standing knocking on your own front door
You’re a house out on the market, Just some time and empty space

Shorty’s coming in the morning to fix that leaking kitchen sink
You’d rather tie a rag around it than have to deal with anything
But you can’t fix what you can’t even hear,
Broke is turning broker every year
You’re a house out on the market, so what are you still doing here

It’s too soon if you’re leaving
And it’s too late now to stay
I was just the threshold
And you the runaway

I lost the portrait that you sent me-- Not so much lost as thrown away
That front door key that you made me never fit right anyway
I’m tired of being nervous and got nerve,
I won’t wait on you to give the final word
If you’re a house out on the market, I’m not bidding on this place

It’s too soon if you’re leaving
And it’s too late now to stay
I was just the threshold
Now I think it’s time that I run away…
Time I run away
