[Intro]

A man lies in his bed in a room with no door

He waits hoping for a presence, something, anything, to enter

After spending half his life searching, he still felt as blank as the ceiling at which he's staring

He is alive, but feels absolutely nothing

So, is he?

When he was six he believed that the moon overhead followed him

By nine he had deciphered the illusion, trading magic for fact

No trade-backs

So this is what it's like to be an adult

If he only knew now what he knew then


[Hook]

I'm open

I'm open


[Verse]

Come on in, come on in

Come on in, come on in


[Hook]

I'm open (Ah)

I'm open (Hey, ooh)


[Verse]

Come on in, come on in

Come on in, come on in


[Outro]

Lying sideways atop crumpled sheets and no covers, he decides to dream

Dream up a new self for himself
