Open Ended Life
The Avett Brothers
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Pack a change of clothes And a pillow for the road for when we drift off to sleep Put the sketches and the notes in a box labeled "burn with furniture" We will watch the fire burn the whole entire house we built down to ashes From the mirror we'll admire how the flame quickly retires We won't waste no long goodbyes on the smoke or foolish lies That finally passed us Let's find something new to talk about I'm tired talkin' 'bout myself I spent my whole life talking to convince everyone That I was something else And the part that kinda hurts Is I think it finally worked And now I'm leaving I get the feeling things have changed But the mystery to me Is where and when along the way Did anyone decide that they believed me I was taught to keep an open-ended life And never trap myself in nothin' I was told to keep an open-ended life And never trap yourself in nothin' When we settle down in another nowhere town Let's tell our neighbors We won't be here long And we'll be quiet but don't go asking any favors I can't stand the unexpected, uninvited visits from too many strangers My trust has dwindled down And I can leave here just as abruptly as I came here. I was taught to keep an open-ended life And never trap myself in nothin' I was told to keep an open-ended life And never trap yourself in nothin'
