nobody came to the door

A real complaint from Reddit's r/mildlyinfuriating. Someone waited by their front door all morning for a signed delivery. Didn't leave. Had two dogs who bark at any knock or ring. The FedEx driver arrived, apparently knocked on nothing, left a "Sorry We Missed You" sticker, and was gone before the person could run outside in their socks. Customer support promised a re-delivery. A second call revealed that promise was never logged. The package was not coming back. The morning was over.

Performed here as smooth jazz. Tenor saxophone. Brushed drums. Rhodes piano. Walking bass. Complete sincerity.

[Verse 1] I cleared my whole morning, I made the tea I sat by the entrance on bended knee The dogs were ready, ears up, on patrol Waiting for a knock that never found its soul

[Pre-Chorus] One minute... the email arrives "We missed you today," said no one who tried

[Chorus] Nobody came to the door No knuckles on wood, no bell on the wall I was right there, I was right there all along Nobody came to the door They left a small sticker that said "no one home" But I was home, I was home I was home

[Verse 2] I ran to the curb in my socks on the street Not a red and purple truck, just defeat I called the number, a voice warm and kind Said "they'll come back," which was probably a lie

[Pre-Chorus] Then I called again to confirm the return She said — no record, nothing was learned

[Chorus] Nobody came to the door No knuckles on wood, no bell on the wall I was right there, I was right there all along Nobody came to the door Just a signed sticker where my morning has gone But I was home, I was home I was home

[Bridge] They said I wasn't there. I was there. I had organized my entire day around being there. The dogs knew. The dogs always know. And nobody... came to the door.

[Final Chorus] Nobody came to the door No resolution, no package, no grace I was right there, I was right there, I was right there Nobody came to the door Just a case number now, floating in space And I'm still home Still home Still... home
