Lyrics
Get My Heart Back Open
I was born into this world wide open
my heart was a vault by second grade
now in the center of that vault there?s still a boy who won?t stop hoping
that I?ll remember where I put the key one of these days
?cause I want to get my heart back open
I?ve got to stop making so much sense
somewhere in the past my heart got broken
but I want to live in present tense
I?m so sick of going through the motions
just to make it through another joyless day
I?ve let all my true feelings go unspoken
now it?s getting harder and harder just to find something to say?
but I want to get my heart back open
I?ve got to stop making so much sense
somewhere in the past my heart got broken
but I want to live in present tense
I?ve built these walls like granite, smooth and solid
a monument to my invincibility
now to you these walls may seem like quite a fortress
but it feels more like a prison in here to me
?cause I want to get my heart back open
I?ve got to stop making so much sense
it?s time for the spell now to be broken
?cause I want to live in present tense
I want to live in present tense?
