Bareilles, Sara - Door Number Three Lyrics
Door number two
It's for you, little lady
Is it all that you dreamed of?
How, if I knew, would've been there waiting
I'd have screamed out and jumped up
Now here I am
With my feet on the sand
And a body that won't move
The tide's coming in
And I'm bound for a swim
In a pair of cement shoes
He takes what he can, what he wants
Doesn't matter if it's ever been given
I took the bait and a chance on a man
And I was wrong to believe that strength makes you strong
And I had hope in a change I would see in us both
And now I'm heavy
And he lifts me, but never once carried
Door number two I've already walked through
Ask me the question
Who coulda guessed I'd be here at this crossroad?
Plain to be seen that it's all up to me
I'm no longer alone, though
Nothing's changed
And I see it more every day
Nothing moves
It's a game to be played and to lose
And now I'm heavy, unsteady
But maybe I'm getting ready
And this might catch fire and char this ground
I might lift this up
To only be the one who's gonna get let down
Will I be enough to get this on its way to find some higher ground?
Before the waters rush
I've got to make a change or else I know I'll drown
Baby, look around
Door number two I've already walked through
I wanna see what's behind door number three

Bareilles, Sara Door Number Three Comments
<3 Love her
"I took a chance on the man sold by the boy that he lived in"
Well if this aint the truth idk what is lol
Oh my god it’s what baking can do but different
What a great voice and an amazing song.
this song is great, but the eventual alternative for this orchestration (What Baking Can Do) is much better in my opinion!
Every time Sara shows up on my randomized playlist, I go on a Sara binge. Every. Time.
Just saw the musical!! Magnificent!!! This song wasn’t included
Kenya 7 The instrumental to What Baking Can Do is the exact same; the lyrics are different.
This song is really something. I wonder why they took it out in the show?
The beat is the same as what baking can do
Thanks ashe
Listening to Sara Bareilles' version of Door Number Three after spending *mumbles inaudible number so no one sees I have no life* listening/watching Jessie Muller do the original version for the musical and can't help but hear the differences LOL it's tripping me up, y'all!!
( *Jessie* ) Jenna:
Door number two, it’s for you, little lady, is it all that you dreamed of?
How if I knew what would’ve been there waiting *I’d have locked that damn door shut. But I stepped inside, the wrong man arrived at it exactly the right time. Too young to know that being alone was something I could have survived.*

Ask me the question: *what happens next, now I’m here at this crossroad?*
Plain to be seen that it’s all up to me *now, but I’m choosing for two now. Now, here we are. In all my choices so far: no trophy, no prize, no new car. Just a man who has made me so small. So could I set fire and char this ground? Could I lift this up even if I’m only gonna get let down? Let’s see if I am enough to get this on its way to find some higher ground.* Before the waters rush I gotta try to change or else I’ll drown.

Ty so much for the info, but I already was well aware I have no life-Waitress has made sure of that...and Netflix... LOL
does anyone know if there's a karaoke track for this song?? (:
my favourite song of her latest album, the repeated piano riff is amazing
I live in room no 3 hHa
Did anybody know that Monty Hall passed away recently?
He died about the same time as Hugh Hefner.
I enjoyed watching him on 'Let's Make A Deal'.
I dedicate this song to Monty Hall.
I really wish they would have put this song at least as a bonus on the obc recording! It's amazing
kinda wish they would've found a place for this song in the Broadway production. i really loved this song in the ART production but i do love What Baking Can Do, just wish this could've found a place in the new show along with the original Jenna teaching Dr Pomatter how to bake a pie scene, it was so good!!!
Why wasn't this song in the musical???
It was, originally, there's a video of the scene that it was initially, but it later got revised to "What Baking Can Do" hence why the majority of it is the same, minus the lyrics and where it ended up, besides a few notes.
Katelyn wouldn'tyouliketoknow Yeah it’s almost the same music but the lyrics are completely different
@Ariana i accept that but i love these lyrics "i took the bait, a chance, of a man sold by the boy that he lived in and i was wrong to beileve that strength makes you strong and a change that would take place in us both" LIKE OMG THATS WHY SHES WITH EARL THATS SO SAD AND BEAUTIFUL LIKE I COULD CRY
Maybe if Dr. P was going through the exact same thing with his wife and how unhappy he is, this could have been sung as a duet. Maybe?
Jimmy
OH THAT WOULD BE AMAZING
I am going to be Brave. You slay it in a radioactive world. #anthem
this song isnt in the musical. the song that took its place is called what baking can do and I think its much better !
having DHMIS 4 flash backs
I love how Sara can make such sticky and original piano beats, it's not an easy task. Definitely she's a piano magician!
I loved this song starting at the first note! She has the ability to make anything sound great. I <3 you so much Sara!
this song's definitely a grower :o
Make an instrumental version .
her lyrics tho! it's only plenty amount of singer that can write a simple beautiful lyrics like her. this album is pretty good: she's finally come back from a quite long hiatus and hit the ground so strong. you go girl!
damn she is do preettyyy
My friend refers to Sara Bareilles as "The girl with the pointy face".
Oh man!!!i love her voice and music!!!
Waiting for your new album I just ordered from Amazon :)

+Camila Contreras nope
I love her, she si one of my favorite artist. This is an example of real talent.

This is awesome! I think she looks like rachel (rclbeauty101) does anyone agree?
Pre-ordered this bad boy on CD and I NEVER buy CDs. Probably won't know what to do with the big silver shiny thing when it arrives. But I needed to have this in physical form. The love is real <3
Is the song really released cause I tried to look for it everywhere I love this song good job

I wish there was a version from the actual show. I love Sara, but I know there's lyric differences, and I just want to know what they are! But, sadly, I do not have that good of an auditory memory.
Cast album is coming out June 10th! 😃
Its like getting a new old-ish fresh air. Missyou so bad sara.
IMO, this song suffers from a "bass layer" problem, as if the bass line is an octave higher than it should be. As a result, you hear too many layers playing higher notes, and no lower notes to balance things out. Absolutely nothing wrong with the song otherwise.
4 people hit the dislike button by mistake
I mean
Right?
Probably not Real people!!
I love you Sara <3
This song makes me feel insane!
LOVE THIS SO MUCH. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW RECORD, SARA!!!!
I want to listen to the whole album! Sooooooooooooooon. It feels like a spoiler listening to a song before I listen to the whole album>.>
I love your music! And i love you! Please come to México
Sara, I love you so much, thank you for being this incredible and amazing singer/pianist/songwriter!!! #Brasil
Awesome!
I've really missed her music, this is amazing!
love the song and is the waitress company going to make a cast album
Te adoro sara♥
I LOVE IT! I missed hearing your new songs!

No. Jessie Mueller will do, a Tony award winner.

+Yadi Acevedo What's Inside: Songs from Waitress <-
+Andrei Narciso I was thinking of the pun you said😂😂
Where have you been Sara? We really miss you!!
Such a lovely voice
I prefer this over Ariana Grande's "Focus"
"Love me Harder" of Ariana Grande , is also a good song ,
have a listen to it I think you will like it :)
+shankar reddy lol I love Ari, it's just that I prefer this over Focus
+Duha Amanullah I think Sara sings well :)
+Duha Amanullah yeah focus is not my favorite ariana song at all 😂 Have you heard her new album dangerous woman yet? Its all amazing
I love Ari's voice, what a talent, but thus far I don't like any of her songs.
Can't wait for the rest of the album!!! So obsessed. Sara has such amazing lyrical writing talent!
I really love this. And your voice and songwriting is just so beautiful. I can't wait to hear the rest <3
Muito perfeita!

One of the singers I have to see live before I die. OMG I LOVE HER!

+Marian Smith Did you think you were gonna live forever? (8
me either, but for me is much more difficult: i am from brazil
Brilliant sweetie Sara me love you <3
Wait why does she keep releasing music from the waitress
+Caitlin Hurley Ummm maybe because she owns it and can sell it.
+Caitlin Hurley she's releasing a full album of the songs from the musical she wrote, but with herself performing them.
