"Open Mind" lyrics - JACK JOHNSON

JACK JOHNSON
"Open Mind"

Why is it so hard to find an open mind?
I'm finding it so hard to keep an open mind
Open up the windows, there's a storm inside
Let the wind blow and the rain wash away the shiny little things, trying to find the way into mine
Some nights I can fall for hope, but some I can sleep
And sometimes I can forget that it's falling to pieces

[Chorus:]
And why are we finding it so easy to believe?
And everything was sold, but we're never going to see
And everything around us is begging just to be
Loved a little more, we can pray to anything
You want, you need anything you want

An open mind stuck between open doubt
Don't try to make sense of it, it don't work out
Sharping all the senses 'til we can't see the light
Jury-rig ambitions 'til they come back at night time knocking
Let me in, let me go

[Chorus:]
And why are we finding it so easy to believe?
And everything was sold, but we're never going to see
And everything around us is begging just to be
Loved a little more, we can pray to anything
We want, we need anything we want

[Outro:]
Even when it's too much
Even when it's too much
Even when it's too much
Even when it's too much
