Lyrics
I'm So Open
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Just outside they're waiting
Just outside the circle
Waiting for that finger to point your way
Just keep runnin'
Just keep runnin'
Young ones quickly burning
Old ones die away
Fires lit to say goodbye or hello
Which way you lookin'
Which way you lookin'
Can't know who that brought you here
Lay your blessing and hand
Rid yourself of all regrets
Because here is where it all began
Bumblers gain, cheaters win
Where the winner pays the highest cost
You've laid your marker, now watch the ball
Hold your breath, it's about to fall
Just outside they're waiting
Just outside the circle
Waiting there is someone, I don't know who
I'm so open
I'm so open
I don't sleep most nights
Just lie awake and count my blessings
I keep this endless life
Of perfect hopeless mourning
I hold you till morning comes
It's all that I can do
I'm so open
I'm so open
I don't like this last goodbye
I don't like goodbye
