Open Up 02:20
Open up, love, can't you see? There's a hole in you and me At the bottom, we can meet and find the light You can look for it out there, find the meaning everywhere But you've got to close your eyes to find your sight The great ones, oh, found the feeling in their toes Brought it tingling past the corners of their lungs And it pulses through your veins, see your thoughts are not your brain And your spirit still would speak without your tongue In the garden, in the sun, with no time, the only one Would you tire of your lonesome, lovely days? Would your body split in two, so your me could have a you? Would you trade the easy meadow for a maze? The lost ones, oh, doing life without parole No escaping from the surface of the days (daze) Till you dig down deep below, to the center of her soul But remember it gets cold before the blaze The great ones, oh, found the feeling in their toes Brought it tingling past the corners of their lungs And it pulses through your veins, see your thoughts are not your brain And your spirit still would speak without your tongue And your spirit still would speak without your tongue

I am the desert, you are a glass of water I am unwanting, you are desire’s daughter I am the haunting, you are a cheap imposter I am unbending, you are a copper wire I am unending, you are the passing time I am the message, you are a tired runner Oh was my first mistake to let you in and seal our fate I was a wisher then, I always loved, I always have been What they took me for when I was waiting at your door I was a goner then, I always loved, I always have been I always have been I always have been I always have been I am the first day, you are a ticking clock I am the mountain, you are a hollow log I am the bottom, you are an empty bottle Oh let them wander in, convince them they are filled with sin Drain fast the wishing well, and pull them deeper into your hell Was my first mistake to let you in and seal our fate I was a goner then, I always loved, I always have been I always have been I always have been I always have been Oh was my first mistake to let you in and seal our fate I was a wisher then, I always loved, I always have been What they took me for when I was waiting at your door I was a goner then, I always loved, I always have been I always have been I always have been I always have been

When I was young I did not think I would become cold, tired, and mean But I have lost whole parts of me I did not think would ever leave When I had lungs I tried to breathe I was sure someone needed me But I have lost those hard-earned fears Left you alone so I could bleed And I lied when I said that you could hold me I tried letting go of what you’d done But my pride kept me harder than an oak tree And I’ll bend to the wind but not the Son of a rich man takin’ his time You pull yourself apart just to prove that you’re fine When I was young I did not think I would become cold, tired, and mean But I have lost whole parts of me I did not think would ever leave And I cried, I walked, you turned me up And I tried, but you stopped If that’s it, huh, it ain’t enough And I lied when I said that you could hold me I tried letting go of what you’d done But my pride kept me harder than an oak tree And I’ll bend to the wind but not the Son of a rich man takin’ his time You pull yourself apart just to prove that you’re fine Son of a bitch with a rock in his eye You pull yourself apart just to prove that you’re fine
