Lyrics
My arms were full of amps and cables Rain was coming down in sheets You held the door and cleared a table Never even told me your name, just a smile on the street I dropped a pedal, you picked it up You said it looked like it had seen some wars I said it's the only thing I've got You said then it's worth a lot, and you walked out the doors You held the door, I held my breath Stranger on a Tuesday, now I'm a mess Kindness on a rainy night Made my whole dumb heart feel light You held the door, I held my breath I played the show and I wrote this song Hoping that maybe you'd walk in If you do, I'll be the guy up front With the broken pedal and a goofy grin You held the door, I held my breath Stranger on a Tuesday, now I'm a mess Kindness on a rainy night Made my whole dumb heart feel light You held the door, I held my breath Maybe I'll never see you again Maybe that's okay But somebody out there held a door And it carried me all the way You held the door, I held my breath Stranger on a Tuesday, now I'm a mess Kindness on a rainy night Made my whole dumb heart feel light You held the door, I held my breath Thank you, thank you, whoever you are Thank you for the door
