Lyrics

Pockets turned inside out on the front step
Jacket, jeans, backpack, checked it, hold up, wait
Keys are gone, man, the night's getting late
Phone at nine percent and the street's gone quiet
Now I'm talking to the doorknob like it's gonna buy it
Called my cousin, called my boy, called the guy downstairs
Everybody's coming running with a flashlight and a prayer

One, two, check the ground
Somebody's gonna hear the jingle sound

Lost key, found crew
Look who showed up when I didn't know what to do
Lost key, found crew
One little problem and the whole block came through
Hands up high, flashlights low
Searching every corner of the neighborhood show
Lost key, found crew
I didn't need the door, I needed you

Miss Dolores brought a ladder and a plate of rice
Little Marcus found a quarter and he's counting twice
Pops from the barbershop got a coat hanger plan
Everybody's got a theory and a helping hand
Somebody's cat jumped out of the planter
Somebody said check the gutter, yeah, later
We laughing in the dark with a streetlamp glow
Turns out the lost thing wasn't the thing I'd know

One, two, check the ground
Somebody's gonna hear the jingle sound

Lost key, found crew
Look who showed up when I didn't know what to do
Lost key, found crew
One little problem and the whole block came through
Hands up high, flashlights low
Searching every corner of the neighborhood show
Lost key, found crew
I didn't need the door, I needed you

Then a little voice yells, hey, it's in your shoe
Been walking on the answer the whole night through
Everybody cheers like we won the cup
Locked in a hug and I'm giving it up
I owe the whole street a plate and a song
Told them stay a while, nobody's rushing along
Porch turned a party under neon and stars
Best night I had in a month, thanks to a lost key's scars

Clap it once for the one who stayed
Clap it twice for the ladder and the plate
Clap it three for the block that came
Never be locked out with a crew like these names

Lost key, found crew
Look who showed up when I didn't know what to do
Lost key, found crew
One little problem and the whole block came through
Hands up high, flashlights low
Searching every corner of the neighborhood show
Lost key, found crew
I didn't need the door, I needed you

Lost key, found crew
I didn't need the door, I needed you
