To Be Honest

An open man with open plans

He has his life up in your hands

I have no reason to be honest

So when I turn away from you

It's not that I don't know the truth

It's that I don't know if I'm bothered

I've got a place where I lay

When all the truth comes knocking, ay

I guess I get what I ordered

And if in time I change my mind

It's got a nice ring to it I find

But I can't give you a straight promise

'Cause you and I, there ain't nothing better

Hope sometime we'll do things together

You and I, we're not getting better

I hope I never see you forever

You and I, there ain't nothing better

I hope sometime we'll do things together

You and I, we're not getting better

I hope I never see you forever

Alright

Baby, alright

Ah, just for once in your life

I can't tell you a lie

I can't tell you a lie

I can't tell you the time

'Cause it goes right by

But I found a way to stop it

(And it includes)

You and I

And you and I, it ain't getting better, as we might find

So why d'you wanna get back on it?

'Cause you and I, there ain't nothing better

Hope sometime we'll do things together

You and I, we're not getting better

I hope I never see you forever

Alright

Baby, alright

Baby, alright

Ah, just for once in your life

An old tin man, his old tin plans

He's been around for years on end

Does he ever find it boring?

He looks back on his life, thinks about his wife

Thinks about the times he wouldn't get it right

Now he's only gone and lost it

Why d'you wanna leave me this way?

I've done all I can

When you look me in the eye

With a knife in the other hand

I swear I'm tryna make things better

It's all I'm tryna do

Although I've never said that to you

But you and I, there ain't nothing better

I hope sometime we'll do things together

You and I, we're not getting better

You and I, there ain't nothing better

Hope sometime we'll do things together

You and I, we ain't getting better

I hope I never see you forever

Alright

Baby, alright

Baby, alright

Ah, just for once in your life
