Open Ended Life - The Avett Brothers
Pack a change of clothes
And a pillow for the road for
When we drift off to sleep
Put the sketches and the notes
In a box labeled "burn with furniture"
We will watch the fire burn
The whole entire house
We built down to ashes
From the mirror we'll admire
How the flame quickly retires
We won't waste no long goodbyes
On the smoke or foolish lies
That finally passed us
I was taught to keep an open-ended life
And never trap myself in nothin'
Let's find something new to talk about
I'm tired talkin' 'bout myself
I spent my whole life
Talking to convince everyone
That I was something else
And the part that kinda hurts
Is I think it finally worked
And now I'm leaving
I get the feeling things have changed
But the mystery to me
Is where and when along the way
Did anyone decide that they believed me
I was taught to keep an open-ended life
And never trap myself in nothin'
I was told to keep an open-ended life
To never trap yourself in nothin'
When we settle down in another nowhere town
Let's tell our neighbors
We won't be here long
And we'll be quiet
But don't go asking any favors
I can't stand the unexpected
Uninvited visits from too many strangers
My trust has dwindled down
And I can leave here
Just as abruptly as I came here
I was taught to keep an open-ended life
Never trap myself in nothin'
I was told to keep an open-ended life
Never trap yourself in nothin'
I was told to keep an open-ended life
Never trap myself in nothin'
