It always had to look good It always had to be perfect It always had to look easy So tell me now was it worth it?
You stand in the doorway With a bag full of words that you can't say Your distant eyes on the TV Your distant eyes won't see me
But it's written across the blue skies You're scared to stumble and realize That underneath the cover We're all as frail as each other We're all as frail as each other
Everybody knows You're falling and it shows Nothing stays where nothing grows And everybody knows, yeah, everybody knows
It doesn't have to look good And you don't have to be perfect It doesn't even have to be easy, no No, if you're open it's worth it
Your hand in your pocket I watch you struggling to stop it From getting out in the open
Your heart's desire awoken
But it's written in shallow waters Your hand is taking its orders From someone scared to discover That we're all as mad as each other We're all as mad as each other
Everybody knows You're breaking and it shows Nothing stays where nothing grows And everybody knows
Your body's a mirror, words can say it clearer Like silent poems on your forehead That turn dishonest and sordid And there's only one thing you can do Let it live and let it through, yeah, it's time to open Open, open, open
Open, open, open, open, open Open, open, open, open, open Open, open, open, open, open
Everybody knows You're falling and it shows Nothing stays where nothing grows And everybody knows, yeah, everybody knows
