Blown Wide Open Lyrics

So I'm all surrounded
By the things I thought I'd put away
An' I'm all surrounded
By the things I thought I'd put away
An' there's a pile in the closet
That's where I threw some yesterday
Maybe under the rug
That's where I swept some the other day
So the mess is drawing forces
Outside I hear them say
(Just) come out with your hands up
So we can blow you away
And I walk out the door
Get blown wide open
By the things I'd put away
And I wasn't even warned
Just blown wide open
By the mess is where I lay

So I'm all surrounded
By the things I thought I'd put away
So I'm all surrounded
By the things I thought I'd put away
And if I'm a slob
I never looked at it that way
Irresponsible
When you're not the first to say

But I told her I'm sorry
I never wanted it this way
Yeah, I still need her
But the mess won't go away
And I walk the door
Get blown wide open
By the things I'd put away
And I'm out on the porch
Just blown wide open
By the mess is where I lay

Yeah, blown wide open
Blown wide open
Blown wide open
Blown wide open
The gun's still smokin'
Blood keeps flowin'
Blown wide open
Blown wide open
[Why's she going]

All surrounded
