Tom P Buckley

Lyrics

[Intro]
[strummed acoustic guitar, clean electric guitar arpeggio]
[Verse 1]
[baritone male vocals]
Open up the door
That's what it's there for
Let us shine
Maybe all of us
Were meant to change
The world
[Chorus]
[tambourine enters, kick drum pulse]
Darling I could taste the sweetness of a single kiss
And imagine all the scales of a million I don't care
I just love to be by your side
Lately I've been lost
Lately I've been lost
Lately I've been lost
I feel my mind's too intense
Lately I've been lost
Lately I've been intense
[Verse 2]
[electric guitar lead melody]
Surely you don't just
Understand you're just a flower
In some other's staring down
I don't have to tell you why baby
Surely you'll be fine
Just take another ride and walk
Somewhere else
There's your white jeans tied around the thing that made you smile
I know just why
[Chorus]
[vocal intensity increases, falsetto ad-libs]
Maybe I'll be lost
Maybe my emotions will get tossed
Maybe I'll be lost
Maybe I'll stay
Right here
[Bridge]
[tempo increases slightly, aggressive acoustic strumming]
Open the door
Open the door
Open the door
Open the door, there's only screaming inside
Open the door, there's only screaming inside
Open the door
[Outro]
[full band energy, driving rhythm]
It's just madness, one time, good times, lost time
Open my eyes until they drop
One more time I hear you sob
And nobody's business
Nobody's business
[acoustic guitar fade out]
