open mind

Jack Johnson

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 in, the rain wash away
The shiny little things

Some nights I can fall for hope
But some I can't sleep
Sometimes I can forget that it's falling to pieces

Why we find it so easy to believe
In everything we're sold
but we're never going to see
When 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 hope and doubt
Don't try to make sense of it, it don't work out
Sharpen all our senses until we can't see the light
Jury-rig ambitions until they come back at nighttime
Knocking, let me in, let me go

Why we find it so easy to believe
In everything we're sold
but we're never going to see
When everything around us is begging just to be
Loved a little more, we can pray to anything
We want
We need
Anything we want

Even when it's too much
Even when it's too much
Even when it's too much
Even when it's too much
