Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're showing everyone too many faces
You write it all down, but then erase it
Just a few more drinks until the drinks win
How far you gonna sink until it sinks in?
[PreChorus]
'Cause when your whole world shatters
And the words don't matter
When it rains, it's gonna pour
But the risk is the reward
[Chorus]
Out here in the wide open, I want for nothing
All these mixed emotions trying to tell me something
I might be scared of what I'll miss, but I'd rather take the risk
Out here in the wide open
In the wide open
Yeah
[Verse 2]
You gotta take a shot, so what if you're rejected?
Try to live a little, maybe get arrested
And throwing caution to the wind might be the answer
So pack it up and hit the road, tiny dancer
[PreChorus]
And the sun goes down in every hometown
You got nothing left to lose
And no matter what you choose
It's all in front of you
[Chorus]
Out here in the wide open, I want for nothing
All these mixed emotions trying to tell me something
I might be scared of what I'll miss, but I'd rather take the risk
Out here in the wide open
In the wide open
Hey
[Bridge]
Yeah
Out here in the wide open
[Chorus]
Out here in the wide open, I want for nothing
All these mixed emotions trying to tell me something
I might be scared of what I'll miss, but I'd rather take the risk
Out here in the wide open
In the wide open
Yeah
[Outro]
You know, I'm ready to go
You know, I'm ready to go
Go
Go
