OPEN ARMS
     

Lost and confused and a little naive
Hard to laugh and harder to grieve
Got some scars that are well concealed
Got some wounds that just won't heal
Going back to open arms
Back to her open arms
Knows he won't come to any harm
In her open arms
Loving open arms

Just like a shooting star in the dark
Burned up and wasted and missing the mark
Riding through space in a lonely arc
It brought him right back to the start
Brought him back to open arms
Back to her open arms
Knows he won't come to any harm
In her open arms
Loving open arms

Open mind and an open heart
Won't help you none when you fall apart
It's not enough just to build a boat
You have to test it to see if it floats

[solo].

Was months ago when the moon was full
Reached for the stars and like a fool
Lost his way and lost himself
Lost his reason and lost his health
She saw the little boy inside the man
Illusions tumbled like castles of sand as she
Reached for him with open arms
Loving open arms
Safer than a steel cage or a good luck charm
In her open arms
