C-minor Lyrics - Singles - Me Without You

Our house wrapped in disrepairs 

A small mouse peeked out from a hole beneath the stairs 

Nearby to where my dad sat in his favorite chair 

Thinking about the government and muttering a prayer 

So I scattered some oats in hope she'd stay 

Then sat still to stop from scaring her away 

But she hurried on her little way 

Scurried around my mind ever since, every day 

Open wide my door, my Lord, my Lord 

Open wide my door 

To whatever makes me love you more 

Open wide my door 

While there's still light to run towards 

Open wide my door 

Like water on the dry wood 

Equal parts misguided and misunderstood 

All the neighborhood 

Watched the fire burn from where they stood 

As the smoke said 

"We're not half as bad as God is good" 

Still there's a whisper in my ear 

The voice of loneliness and fear 

And I say, "Devil, disappear!" 

I'm still technically a virgin after 27 years 

Which never bothered me before 

What's maybe fifty more? 

Open wide my door, my Lord, my Lord 

Open wide my door 

To whatever makes me love you more 

Open wide my door 

While there's still light to run towards 

Open wide my door 

She came back for the oat 

(It never ends) 

But she brought along a 'friend' 

(It never ends, it never ends, it never ends) 

The harder the rain 

(It never ends) 

The lower those flowers in the garden bend 

(It never ends, it never ends, it never ends) 

I'd rather never talk again 

(It never ends) 

Than to continue to pretend this never ends 

(It never ends, it never ends, it never ends, it never ends)
