Opening
Joseph S. Djafar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Haven't got my thoughts together no intimacy
Radar's going off I've got a lead
Never knew your mind was racing till I planted that seed
I've been meaning to talk to you
Was oblivious and missed your cues
Ironic cause that's always been me
Third time's the charm, observant every day
Is I woke up just a little to late
Forgot to turn on my alarm
Been to long since we went on a date
We need some time to catch up
Honesty is ecstasy
We made some wrong moves but you're home to me
Let's burn our greed
This is the grand opening
You know you're all that's on my mind
Your warm sweet smile is the light of my life
There's no world I would let that escape
Not a place or a time with an unwelcomed embrace
I've just been meaning to talk to you
Was so focused on the world had a bad attitude
We've been so scared of what other people think
That we haven't thought of things out of society's tint
All I'm trying to say
Is I woke up just a little to late
Forgot to turn on my alarm
Been to long since we went on a date
We need some time to catch up
Honesty is ecstasy
We made some wrong moves but you're home to me
Let's burn our greed
This is the grand opening
Hey, I'll open up
I'll open up to you
(I'll open up)
Hey, I'll open up
I'll open up to you
Hey, I'll open up
I'll open up to you
Hey, I'll open up
(I'll open up)
I woke up just a little to late
Forgot to turn on my alarm
Been to long since we went on a date
We need some time to catch up
Honesty is ecstasy
We made some wrong moves but you're home to me
Let's burn our greed
This is the grand opening
