Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's hard to argue when
You won't stop makin' sense
But my tongue still misbehaves, and it
Keeps diggin' my own grave with my
[Verse 2]
Hands open and my eyes open
I just keep hopin' that your heart opens
[Verse 3]
Why would I sabotage
The best thing that I have?
Well, it makes it easier to know
Exactly what I want with my
[Verse 4]
Hands open and my eyes open
I just keep hopin' that your heart opens
[Verse 5]
It's not as easy as willin' it all to be right
Gotta be more than hopin' it's right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy
[Verse 6]
It's not as easy as willin' it all to be right
Gotta be more than hopin' it's right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy
[Verse 7]
Put Sufjan Stevens on
And we'll play your favorite song
Chicago bursts to life and your
Sweet smile remembers you, my
[Verse 8]
Hands open and my eyes open
I just keep hopin' that your heart opens
[Verse 9]
It's not as easy as willin' it all to be right
Gotta be more than hopin' it's right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy
[Verse 10]
It's not as easy as willin' it all to be right
Gotta be more than hopin' it's right
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
Collapse into me, tired with joy
[Verse 11]
(With my hands open)
It's not as easy as willin' it all to be right
(With my hands open)
Gotta be more than hopin' it's right
(With my hands open)
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
(With my hands open)
Collapse into me tired with joy
[Verse 12]
(With my hands open)
It's not as easy as willing it all to be right
(With my hands open)
Gotta be more than hopin' it's right
(With my hands open)
I wanna hear you laugh like you really mean it
(With my hands open)
Collapse into me tired with joy
