Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your signals seem to fly
Keep it open
Keep it open
And help me keep mine open too
Some will lie behind
But we needn't be unkind
Keep it open
And help me keep mine open too
Sun stoned in the east
In our eyes, let there be peace
Keep it open
Keep it open
And help me keep mine open too
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do

"I never live with balance
I wanna feel you near me
There's an aching in my hipbone
Wanna let my heart drop open
It's daylight in the city
There's thumping in the stairwell"
OOh yes.... I awoke today with an aching in my hipbone
and wondering where it came from
THEN .. just heard this song on Radio Paradise...
and I knew
