Lyrics

Well, I don't think for pleasure
It's just hard not to do
My thinkin' is a measure of how much I need a clue
I'm still flyin' blind, hopin' I might find
A way to stop my thinkin' and open up my mind
Well, I don't see too clearly
I wish you'd show me how
If seein' is believin', I believe I need it now
It comes as no surprise, I can't analyze
My usual refusal to open up my eyes
My feelings hurt me plenty
Not feelin' hurts me more
Feeling's got me kneelin' down, wounded to the core
Not feeling's got its charms, but you find out who it harms
When your lover soon discovers you can't open up your arms
It's like being in a prison
You lock yourself inside
A limited perspective even with eyes open wide
But I can't walk no more through scenes I've seen before
Why don't you come to me, bring a key, open up
Open up the door
It's just love and it's a puzzle
Of that there is no doubt
Can't do nothing with it and you sure can't do without
Can't learn your part, you won't know where to start
Till you quit all your questions and open up
Just open up your heart
One small suggestion: quit your questions and open up
Just open up your heart
