"Opening Up" lyrics

The day starts like the rest I've seen
Another carbon copy of where I've already been
Days keep coming one out, one in, they keep coming

I don't know what I wish I had
But there's no time now
For thinking things like that
I've got too much to do, too much to do
We've got too much to do, too much to do

Opening up, letting the day in
Pour you a cup and say, "Hello, how you been?"
Looking around, seeing the same things
It's comforting how some things never change
Never change, never change, do they?

I wouldn't call this place a "happy end"
But I've been 'round the block and just came back again
Could be worse, so make it work, no place is perfect

Hey, I'm no good in the outside world
Because I feel too much and find it usually hurts
I like the way most of the days
Look exactly the same

Opening up, every day starts
Over a cup served with "Hello, how you been?"
Welcome it in
Whatever the day brings
More of the same things

Check the clock, tick, tick, tock
Don't stop, serve with a smile
Hurry up, fill the coffee cup
And then in a while
Take a breath when you need to be reminded
That with days like these we can only do the best we can
Then do it all again

It's the heartbeat, the center, the lifeline, you enter
It's the heartbeat, it's the center, the lifeline, you enter
It's the heartbeat, the center, the lifeline, you enter

Opening up, letting the day in
Pour you a cup and say, "Hello, how you been?"
Looking around, seeing the same things
It's comforting how some things never change
Never change, never change and never change
