This is a Room - Matilda

This is a room

This is a room half full

Let yourself in

Here is the key

Don’t stand out in the rain

Come in with me

This is that room

The only room I’ve got

Never thought I’d open it, but now I do

It’s open just for you

So don’t stand out and catch a cold

You’ll only regret the things you didn’t do when you grow old

We can paint these walls

Or leave them white

We can bring our favorite records

And play them all night

We can leave the light on

Or we can sleep in the dark

Just don’t stand out in the rain

Come into my heart

I’ve been outside

Outside that room

I’ve guarded it with everything I have and everything I am

Then you came by

You came by my room

Broke down my guard

And made a bonfire inside my heart
