Lyrics
Open Wide
music and lyrics © 2002 Aaron J. Snow
here we are,
in our first floor tiny apartment in the back
we can never see the sun
facing out
to just another stack of bricks
and they too, for someone else,
must weigh a ton
there are times
when i wish i had never come to this
God-forsaken place
and in my head
i plan our escape
and i see the agreement in your face
well roll the windows open wide
in our car and speed up the side streets
til we make it cross the bridge
kiss a cloud and wave goodbye
shooting out across the plains
open road for open minds
and open hearts, rolling windows
open wide
all the images
from these last couple months
have made it hard for us to talk
about anything at all
more on edge,
longer silences, shorter fuses
quick to snap, quick to judge
when what we need is to recall
rolling windows open wide ...
now it is true
that we are here for a reason, each our own
some to accomplish, some to help,
some just here to learn
but what if we
never see
what it is we're here to be
never catch, never spark, never burn
well roll the windows open wide ...
here comes the sun, little darlin’
here comes that sun
