Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So I'm all surrounded
By the things I thought I put away
And I'm all surrounded
By the things I thought I put away
And there's a pile in the closet
That's where I threw some yesterday
Maybe under the rug
That's where I swept some the other day
[Verse 2]
So the mess is drawing forces
Outside I hear them say
Just come out with your hands up
So we can blow you away
[Verse 3]
And I walk out the door
Get blown wide open
By the things I put away
And I wasn't even warned
Just blown wide open
Now the mess is where I lay
[Verse 4]
So I'm all surrounded
By the things I thought I put away
So I'm all surrounded
By the things I thought I'd put away
And if I'm a slob
Well, I never looked at it that way
Irresponsible
Well, you're not the first to say
[Verse 5]
But I told her I'm sorry
I never wanted it this way
Yeah, I still need her
But the mess won't go away
[Verse 6]
And I walk out the door
Get blown wide open
By the things I put away
And I'm out on the porch
Just blown wide open
Now the mess is where I lay
[Verse 7]
Yeah, blown wide open
Blown wide open
Blown wide open
Blown wide open
The gun's still smokin'
Blood keeps flowin'
Blown wide open
Blown wide open
While she's goin'
[Verse 8]
All surrounded
