Benjamin Francis Leftwich - In The Open Lyrics






[Verse 1:]
We stayed up waiting for the morning
Beneath the full Moon on the snow
You turned to me before you turned to go

You said I'm always rushing through the day
With my thoughts like bullets in my brain
And I don't need love it only gets in my way

[Chorus:]
Oh baby are you free now
Still living for the weekend
Do you shout into the wind when you're alone

Oh baby are you stone still
Fired up on heavy eyes
Is your love still like a mission in the night

[Verse 2:]
When you're done with rolling all the dice
And you've wrapped them up and thrown the to the sky
Will you walk the river where we used to hide

[Chorus:]
Oh baby are you free now
Still living for the weekend
Do you shout into the wind when you're alone

Oh baby are you stone still
Fired up on heavy eyes
Is your love still like a mission in the night

[Verse 3:]
Do you really wanna run along behind
Trails of gold and silver
Don't you wanna throw your wishes out into the wild

Do you really wanna wake up to find
You just can't remember
How you used to be

[Chorus:]
Oh baby are you free now
Still living for the weekend
Do you shout into the wind when you're alone

Oh baby are you stone still
Fired up on heavy eyes
Is your love still like a mission in the night

    You are a horrible guitar player. Really, get someone else to play for you. Please.

  2. D.... B....

    My workplace always thought this sounds like Winnie The Pooh receiving an orgasm while being forced to sing at gunpoint.

  3. B.... A....

    In love....

  4. V.... X....

  7. T.... H....

    Just so I can sing along.

    We stayed up waiting for the morning
    Beneath the full Moon on the snow
    You turned to me before you turned to go

    You said I'm always rushing through the day
    With my thoughts like bullets in my brain
    And I don't need love it only gets in my way

    Oh baby are you free now
    Still living for the weekend
    Do you shout into the wind when you're alone

    Oh baby are you stone still
    Fired up on heavy eyes
    Is your love still like a mission in the night

    When you're done with rolling all the dice
    And you've wrapped them up and thrown the to the sky
    Will you walk the river where we used to hide

    Oh baby are you free now
    Still living for the weekend
    Do you shout into the wind when you're alone

    Oh baby are you stone still
    Fired up on heavy eyes
    Is your love still like a mission in the night

    Do you really wanna run along behind
    Trails of gold and silver
    Don't you wanna throw your wishes out into the wild

    Do you really wanna wake up to find
    You just can't remember
    How you used to be

    Oh baby are you free now
    Still living for the weekend
    Do you shout into the wind when you're alone

    Oh baby are you stone still
    Fired up on heavy eyes
    Is your love still like a mission in the night
