Lyrics

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
