Open Book
Unveiling Life's Pages: José González's Open BookLyrics
I feel just like an open book,
Feeling exposed and transparent
Exposing myself in this neighborhood
Vulnerable in the surroundings
Talking to people as if I'd knew them well
Engaging with others intimately despite not knowing them deeply
Thinking that everyone has come through different kinds of well
Believing everyone has experienced different challenges
Lately I found myself in doubt,
Recently experiencing uncertainty
Ask myself what it's all about
Questioning the purpose and meaning of life
What am I doing here? What's this leading to?
Contemplating the reason for existence and direction
What's the point of all? I found you!
Discovering someone special despite doubts
I've got promises to keep like a cannon would land upon my feet,
Feeling burdened by responsibilities
Each time I fall
Facing setbacks repeatedly
Every now and then in dreams by the river with no trees
Occasionally dreaming of a serene but bare environment
Leaves are yellow, red and brown, and I hear
Visualizing autumnal colors without foliage, hearing a familiar voice
You whisper in my ear
Recalling a whispered message
Your love belong to everyone
Sensing a love that extends universally
I feel just like an open book,
Reiterating a feeling of transparency and exposure
A couple of words, it's all it took
Realizing vulnerability with minimal interaction
In front of the bright white covers, still vacantly
Appearing calm externally while feeling detached internally
Against my will, a drifting vessel in the storm
Feeling out of control amidst life's turbulence
Pushed around, from shore to shore
Being moved around without stability
I know there's so much left to see
Acknowledging there's much yet to experience
I know I have so much left to give
Recognizing untapped potential and contributions to offer
But the memories remain, yet the scars don't feel the same
Noticing memories endure, but past hurts lose their impact
