Noah And The Whale - My Door Is Always Open Lyrics






I will only, let you down.
I will only, let you down.
But my door, is always open.
Yeah my door, is always open.

Well I don't think, that I ever loved you.
But the world is dying to meet you.
Oh black birds they sing off the mountains.
Joyous love songs that drift through the houses.

But now I'm free,
Now I'm free,
Now I'm free from all your pain.

Oh well church bells, they are ringing for you.
Oh and choirs are singing in red,
Oh your voice could summon the angels,
And your beauty, could waken the dead.

But now I'm free,
Now I'm free,
Now I'm free from all your pain.

Well you have only let me down
You have only, let me down
But my door is always open
Yeah my door is always open.

Yeah I love with my heart and I hold it in my hands,
But you know, my heart's not yours. [4x]

  7. s.... ....

    and people still say indie folk is hipster bullshit.

    s.... ....

    YEAH just like on tv

  8. J.... O....

    It's been 5 years since I was first introduced to this group, and holy shit this song still makes me cry like a fucking baby. Forever my #1 favorite song.

  9. Z.... K....

    this song makes me cry like a little baby.

    Z.... K....

    I haven't cried since I was a baby, but this almost made me.

  10. M.... S....

    5 people cried soo hard that they couldn't see the "like" button  

    M.... S....

    Yep lol

  11. S.... S....

    Not untrue.

    S.... S....

    Definitely.

  12. T.... Y....

    I wait for so long still miss my sunshine

    T.... Y....

  13. T.... Y....

    Miss sunshine

    T.... Y....

    You are my sunshine...

  14. K.... ....

    Too bad Laura Marling completely pwned this entire album with her one song, "Ghosts."

    K.... ....

    Wrongo haha

  15. R.... ....

    "but im not yours" too bad my ex doesnt want me to be hers. i wish she did for the sole reason of telling her turning her down. I see she is happier now and im indifferent. I'm not sad that shes gone or that she's found someone else. I'm sad because I'm NOT sad. I thought i would always have the same feelings for her but she shut her door and now I see that she let me down. my door is closed now and cant find a way to open it.

    R.... ....

    Wow... deeper than anything I could write. Great analogy. Given as this comment was made 6 years ago, I think you've moved on, but still, that's sad and I hope you're happier now.

  16. C.... ....

    I don't think a song has ever made me cry without me being sad to begin with. This song is so beyond amazing. The whole album is just breath taking and the short film is beautiful. So tragic but so fantastic.

    C.... ....

    Great description, true.

  17. J.... N....

    So much in fact, I actually got rid of the album on my computer because it is so personal and hard hitting...its too emotionally gripping to me even almost four years later.

    J.... N....

    Yeah, I know what you mean, I've had to do that to some songs. Like Cavetown - Green.

    J.... N....

    It reminds me of Her.

  18. J.... N....

    I love this album, its mean an incredible amount and is so damn personal. The first time I heard it in fall of 2009 I was going through the biggest break up of my life and its such an exact replica of those times.

    J.... N....

    The first time I heard it was 9 years later than that, about 2 minutes ago.

  19. J.... R....

    This song makes me think of Snape and Lily. Am I the only one?

    J.... R....

    Always.

  20. E.... B....

    Rarely have I been able to relate to a love song so much, in a way that crap like Rihanna and Minaj could only dream of doing, simply because, I guess, Fink has been through so much more, and has the genius to be able to put it to incredible music, rather than have someone else do it for him.

    E.... B....

    Completely agree. NATW is 112x better

  21. J.... F....

    @ehPheonixPhotography There is no 4:42...it ends at 4:33....

    J.... F....

    4:32 lol

  22. m.... ....

    I can't believe this song is so old :o

    m.... ....

    Yeah, much older than when you made this comment

  23. D.... 4....

    @Lanallaby my ex-girlfriends name is laura, i said the same thing to her.
    Recently, she left me. And reading this comment is kind of strange for me..

    D.... 4....

    Never had a girlfriend.... but I did have someone leave me.

  24. C.... ....

    much better live but still beautiful <3

    C.... ....

    I wish I could have seen them live when I had the chance.

  25. L.... ....

    "oh your voice could summon the angels" automatically thought of laura ...

    L.... ....

    Her voice DEFINITELY could lol

  26. K.... H....

    Charlie Fink, you never let me down.

    K.... H....

    Charlie Fink is an angel

  27. T.... T....

    I listened to two songs one night after thinking a lot of a girl that had accidentally led me on, and friendzoned me heavily. The songs were First Days of Spring, and My Door is Always Open...The first left me in melancholy tears. This feeling drowned every other aspect of my thinking. The second, seemed to do the same. When the finale started warming up, I felt almost as if a bad dream quickly changed to a good one, and i was waking up. Soon, I started laughing tears of joy. Such gifts.

  28. F.... M....

    I can relate to this song, so much..
    "You let me down..." "But you know, my heart's not yours"

  29. e.... ....

    Whoops...anyway, haanannahbanana what song are those lyric from?

  30. e.... ....

    @HaannahBanana

    e.... ....

    @evers909

  31. H.... R....

    I'm the dust, I'm the dirt, I'm the flowers in the Earth. I'm the leaves, and the LOVE. That just sounds perfect to me :)

  32. E.... B....

    oh, your voice could summon the angels
    and your beauty could wake up the dead

  33. K.... S....

    this song makes my heart feel better as it slowly patches up all of the cracks from being broken with the tears of my soul.

  34. w.... ....

    @NorthWriter that one person was laura marling...

  35. K.... H....

    i was right at the stage at charlie fink's feet & they did this song.. i was sobbing. it was probably one of the most incredible experience of my life. this entire album is perfect. noah and the whale will forever be my favourite band.

  36. E.... H....

    3:30 - 4:42 makes my heart sing and my soul dance :D

  37. N.... ....

    @familiarstranger95 I totally agree! The voices from 3:58 on give me chills.

  38. N.... ....

    For one person, the wounds of their heart are still too tender for them to be ready to hear this song. For that one person, Noah and the Whale are saying, "We know, mate. We've been there. But you'll be okay. Like a cut down tree, you will rise again, and be bigger and stronger than ever before."

    N.... ....

    Completely agree, man. My heart is separated only by scars, and this hurts. A lot.

  39. f.... ....

    even the hairs on my arms give this song a standing ovation :')

    f.... ....

    Wow, never heard that one before :)

  40. H.... C....

    how could someone dislike this song??..

    H.... C....

    Not sure, maybe they don't like Charlie's voice

  41. S.... K....

    i listen to it once, i end up listening to it 1234074 times

    S.... K....

    Same, I do that with all of Charlie's songs.

  42. T.... ....

    I hear at 3:50 I hear "Im the dust and the dirt, the flowers in the earth and the leaves in the undergrowth"

    T.... ....

    Or maybe it's this, yeah

  43. V.... A....

    @kashga11 I'm the dust/I'm the dirt/I'm the flowers in the earth/I'm the leaves/I'm alone

    At least, that's what I hear.

    V.... A....

    I think you are correct

  44. V.... A....

    Whoever disliked this obviously never learned how to feel.

    V.... A....

    I had a time when I couldn't feel.

  45. k.... ....

    @hayrayfray1 hell yes!

  46. k.... ....

    "Yeah I love with my heart and I hold it in my hands. But you know, my hearts not yours."

    now im free..everytime i listen to this album i feel free and just ughh idk how to explain it. like a weight has been lifted :]

  47. s.... ....

    This song perfectly shows how I feel.
    It's these kinda songs that make you really appreciate music.

  48. K.... S....

    after 3:30 <3

    K.... S....

    It just gets SO CATCHY

  49. L.... W....

    3:16 = best part of an amazing song

  50. J.... T....

    1. John Lennon
    2. Charlie Fink

    J.... T....

    *John Lemon lol

  51. S.... ....

    In my mind, this song really starts with the choir during the last 45 seconds of 'Slow Glass.' It provides a really calming intro to the vocals, which obviously are equally amazing.

    S.... ....

    It does, it gets suuuper catchy around there haha

  52. A.... K....

    Gorgeous.

    A.... K....

    Absolutely.

  53. K.... ....

    One of the best songs ever.

    K.... ....

    I concur. It's calming like a wind chime.

  54. u.... ....

    This album will linger with you for ever..it has no time or type it is just beautiful and leaves you with such peace.

    u.... ....

    Most of their songs are. Hello from the future!
