Open up the blind No don't be afraid You've been hiding behind it so many days That I think you forgot that sunshine is outside You don't have to meet no one's eye You can gaze at treetops when you walk by If they ask your name, you can just call out Something wild and strange And the future you have written In the margins can come true It will rise to you unbidden Like the steam that rises over all the gloom Cause I've seen you with head in your hands There lamenting mistakes that we've made But here the bird comes, pecks at your window So open it, don't be afraid...yeah... Down by the rushes Where willows wind We would sit for hours We would lose the time Then you'd leap up and clear the stream in just one bound The whole world was that stream for you You leaped over all the sad things we'd do Did you lose somewhere that pair you had of Rocket powered shoes? And the future you have written In the margins can come true It will rise to you unbidden Like the steam that rises over all the gloom Cause I've seen you with head in your hands There lamenting mistakes that we've made But here the bird comes, pecks at your window So open it, don't be afraid...yeah... It's so hard to go back outside When you feel you're the victim of everyone's eyes And there's so much about this past year That you just can't explain You won't have to I'll walk with you I'll deflect all their stares with my cheap mirrored j**els And if you should stumble Just take it as a chance to find marbles and treasures on the ground...yeah... Now the puzzle has scattered wide And some pieces of it Have tried to hide But they're out there, under rocks and under stars I'll go searching, I've wanted to Since the very first time that I met you And the corners of all of your notes they were crowded With drawings and tall tales And the future you have written In the margins can come true It will rise to you unbidden Like the steam that rises over all the gloom So no more sit with head in your hands There lamenting mistakes that we've made Open the blind and open your heart There's no reason now to be afraid ...yeah...
