Sara Bareilles Lyrics
"Opening Up"

The day starts like the rest I've seen
Another carbon copy of where I've already been
Days keep coming, one out, one in, they keep coming
I 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 you 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
I'm 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 you been?"
Welcome it 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, 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 you been?"
Looking around
Seeing the same things
It's comforting how some things never change
Never change, never change
They never change
