Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I feel just like an open book
Exposing myself in this neighborhood
Talking to people as if I knew them well
Thinking that everyone has gone
Through different kinds of hell
[Verse 2]
Lately I've found myself in doubt
Asking myself what it's all about
What am I doing here?
What's this leading to?
What's the point of all without you?
[Verse 3]
Well, I've got promises to keep
Like a cat, I know I'll land upon my feet
Each time I fall
[Verse 4]
Every now and then, in dreams
By the river 'neath our tree
Leaves in yellow, red and brown
I hear you whisper in my ear
"Your love belongs to everyone"
[Verse 5]
I feel just like an open book
A couple of words was all it took
In front of a bright white canvas
Staring vacantly now free
Against my will
[Verse 6]
A drifting vessel in the storm
Pushed around from shore to shore
I know there's so much left to see
I know I have so much left to give
[Verse 7]
But the memories remain
Yet the scars don't feel the same
Filling pages one by one
In the warmth of other suns
