So i'm all surrounded
by the things i thought i'd put away
and 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
now 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
well i never looked at it that way
irresponsible
well 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 out the door
get blown wide open
by the things i'd put away
and i'm out on the porch
just blown wide open
now the mess is where i lay
Yeah, blown wide open
blown wide open
Blown wide open
the gun's still smokin'
blood keeps flowin'
blown wide open
why's she going
all surrounded
