John Popper Open Hand lyrics

She does something amazing
When she makes up her mind
She'll breathe in deep and for a moment
Leave us all behind

As if the very first secret ever kept
Is locked up in her eyes
Dreamt of a heart that had once slept
But now flies

Evening sky, we pass on by
Just a shadow on the interstate
When up's the sun, I'm on the run
And suddenly, I cannot wait

When the cup tastes sweet, I'm on my feet
Fearful I may drink too deep
But there she stands and all my plans
Are giving me an open hand

She's the cutest thing ever
And I don't mean that she talks like a baby
It's in the way she turns never
Into maybe

It's in every smile that she saves me
Even when I am not there
And though the distance enslaves me
I can feel her everywhere

Evening sky, we pass on by
Just a shadow on the interstate
When up's the sun, I'm on the run
And suddenly, I cannot wait


When the cup tastes sweet, I'm on my feet
Fearful I may drink too deep
But there she stands and all my plans
Are giving me an open hand

Sometimes I feel like I'm falling
This feels more like a glide
I never knew that the weather
Could change inside

Evening sky, we pass on by
Just a shadow on the interstate
When up's the sun, I'm on the run
And suddenly, I cannot wait

When the cup tastes sweet, I'm on my feet
Fearful I might drink too deep
But there she stands and all my plans
Are giving me an open hand

Evening sky, we pass on by
Just a shadow on the interstate
When up's the sun, I'm on the run
And suddenly, I cannot wait

When the cup tastes sweet, I'm on my feet
Fearful I might drink too deep
But there she stands and all my plans
Are giving me an open hand
