blown wide open

so i'm all surrounded

by the things i thought i put away

and i'm all surrounded

by the things i thought i put away

and there's a pile in the closet

that's where i threw some yesterday

maybe under the rug

that's where i swept some the other day

so the mess is drawing forces

outside i hear them say

just come out with your hands up

so we can blow you away

and i walk out the door

get blown wide open

by the things i put away

and i wasn't even warned

just blown wide open

now the mess is where i lay

so i'm all surrounded

by the things i thought i put away

so i'm all surrounded

by the things i thought i put away

and if i'm a slob

well i never looked at it that way

irresponsible

well you're not the first to say

but i told her i'm sorry

i never wanted it this way

yeah

i still need her

but the mess won't go away

and i walk the door

get blown wide open

by the things i put away

and i'm out on the porch

just blown wide open

now the mess is where i lay

yeah

blown wide open

blown wide open

blown wide open

blown wide open

the gun's still smokin'

blood keeps flowin'

blown wide open

blown wide open

while she's going

all surrounded
