lyrics

I’ve been open, hoping for days
Shrugging off sleep
Disappointed when I wake
I’ve been open, hoping for days
Curtains open, doors open while we change

Last night I dreamt of dirty feet
Would I remember seeing you
You promised you’d come back for me
I’ve been open, hoping for days
Curtains open, doors open while we change

Everyone leaves when you need them the most
I know it’s not about me, but it hurts being alone
Empty rooms, quiet hallways when I’m home

I’ve been open, hoping for days
Staring into white walls
Shadows forming your face
I’ve been open, hoping for days
Curtains open, doors open while we change

Last week I went out to greet you
The petals were falling, but I just couldn’t feel you
Your body’s underground, but you’ve run far from there by now
Can you hear me, can you speak
Are you happy, are you laughing
To love is to set free, but I wish you’d stayed with me

Everyone leaves when you need them the most
I know it’s not about me, but it hurts being alone
Empty rooms, quiet hallways when I’m home

Is it a myth we can exist on our own
Sometimes I need space, but sometimes I need to us
To be here, to be held, to be whole

I’ve been open, hoping for days
I’ve been open, hoping for days
