The Room Lyrics

The Room lyrics

In a room you can build a home

Plant the seed and life begins to grow

When it’s outgrown life inside

How will it live?

And will it survive?

On it’s own outside



I wonder if the world is just the same

And does the life that I knew still remain

Journey to the life outside

Return to those I left behind



‘Cause I’m ready to go now

Yes I’m ready to go now



I wanna get back to the city

Get on with my life

Cause I’ve done my time

And I’m ready to go now



So now it’s time to leave the room

And not for one minute too soon

If you spent 16 years

Then you’d almost understand



Time waits for no man to return

A whole new set of rules to learn

It had been 16 years

Since they put me in the cell



We will never leave

We ain’t ever gonna leave the room

We could be here for life

We will never leave the room



And as it all gets rearranged

You find that everything has changed

And there’s no place for you

In this foreign world



You always believed

One day you’d be free

And never return so soon



If I lent my arms to you

Would you hold me

And embrace me

Or replace me
