"Opening Up"

The day starts like the rest I've seen

And all the carbon copy of where I've already been

Days keep coming one on one

And they keep coming

Don't know what I wish I had

But there's no time now for thinking things like that

I've got too much to do (Too much to do)

We've got too much to do (Too much to do)

Opening up

Letting the day in

Pour you a cup

And say, "Hello, how ya been?"

Looking around

Seeing the same things

It's comforting how

Some things never change

Never change

Never change

Do they?

I wouldn't call this place a happy end

But I've been 'round the block

And just came back again

Could be worse

So make it work

No place is perfect

Hey

No good in the outside world

Because I feel too much

And find it usually hurts

I like the way most of the days

Look exactly the same

Opening up

Everyday starts

Over a cup

Served with, "Hello, how ya been?"

Welcoming in

Whatever the day brings

More of the same things

Check the clock

Tick, tick, tock

Don't stop

Serve with a smile

Hurry up

Fill the coffee cup

And then in a while

Take a breath

When you need to be reminded

That with days like these

We can only do the best we can

And do it all again

It's the heartbeat

The center

The lifeline

You enter

It's the heartbeat

It's the center

The lifeline

You enter

It's the heartbeat

The center

The lifeline

You enter

Opening up

Letting the day in

Pour you a cup

And say, "Hello, how ya been?"

Looking around

Seeing the same things

It's comforting how

Some things never change

Never change

Never change

They never change
