Open Every Window lyrics

Well, I know you've made a practice

Out of closing all your doors

But promise me you'll open every window

There's a hundred different reasons

For the cracks you cover over

And the balancing will add to your confusion

But the maze is in your mind

Look for days, but you won't find

There's nothing here that hasn't been before you

Thank whoever that tomorrow

Isn't looming any larger

'Cause there's plenty left to occupy the meanwhile

And you really like to travel

And you really love to feel at home

But neither seem to happen at the same time

And the map is in your head

As you're lying on the bed

Being blown away by everything before you

Before you

If you were paid for being honest,

You'd have nothing left to live on

And all your debt would stack up very neatly

And in the back of your head

Is a lock in your spine

Full of tension and regret

Because you never really stopped to think it over

That the maze is in your mind

Look for days, but you won't find

There's nothing here that hasn't been before you

Before you
