Opening Up

Sara Bareilles

The day starts like the rest I′ve seen
And all the carbon copy of where I've already been
Days keep coming one on oneAnd they keep coming
Don′t know what I wish I had
But there's no time now for thinking things like that
I've got too much to do (Too much to do)
We′ve got too much to do (Too much to do)

Opening up
Letting the day in
Pour you a cup
And say, "Hello, how ya been?"
Looking around
Seeing the same things
It′s comforting how
Some things never change
Never change
Never change
Do they?

I wouldn't call this place a happy end
But I′ve been 'round the block
And just came back again
Could be worse
So make it work
No place is perfect
Hey
No good in the outside world
Because I feel too much
And find it usually hurts
I like the way most of the days
Look exactly the same

Opening up
Everyday starts
Over a cup
Served with, "Hello, how ya been?"
Welcoming in
Whatever the day brings
More of the same things

Check the clock
Tick, tick, tock
Don′t stop
Serve with a smile
Hurry up
Fill the coffee cup
And then in a while
Take a breath
When you need to be reminded
That with days like these
We can only do the best we can
And do it all again

It's the heartbeat
The center
The lifeline
You enter
It′s the heartbeat
It's the center
The lifeline
You enter
It's the heartbeat
The center
The lifeline
You enter

Opening up
Letting the day in
Pour you a cup
And say, "Hello, how ya been?"
Looking around
Seeing the same things
It′s comforting how
Some things never change
Never change
Never change
They never change
