I'll try to keep myself open up to you

That's a promise that I made to love

When it was new just like Jericho, I said

"Let these walls come tumbling down"

I said it like I finally found the way

To keep the good feelings alive

I said it like it was something to strive for

I'll try to keep myself open up to you

And approve your self expression

I need that too, I need your confidence, baby

And the gift of your extra time

In turn, I'll give you mine, sweet darling

It's a rich exchange, it seems to me

It's a warm arrangement

Anyone will tell you

Just how hard it is to make and keep a friend

Maybe they'll short sell you

Maybe it's you

Judas, in the end

When you just can no longer pretend

That you're getting what you need

Or you're giving out anything for them to grow and feed on

I'll try to keep myself open up to you

It gets easier and easier to do

Just like Jericho

Let these walls come tumbling down now

Let them fall right on the ground

Let all these dogs go running free

The wild and the gentle dogs

Kenneled in me
