This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Hey man I noticed you were
You were crying
Oh shame on you would leave it inside
Mind open your mind you say "no, well no, will I"
Hey cause yourself all alone
You will lie down
Oh, put yourself away from all your love
And you will soon lie down
Said I can leave it way open eyes
I go to you see me whine
See me lie here
Oh, call see me whine call you way down
The pain has been riddling me oh will I, yeah
Open, I will
I will leave it to destiny to choose which way I go to
I will leave destiny
To choose which direction it is that I'm gong to
My face open eye you leave I mean I
And I will
And we will leave most men, most men lie
I fear that we will go away most men, most men
Leave us crying
You were crying
Oh shame on you would leave it inside
Mind open your mind you say "no, well no, will I"
Hey cause yourself all alone
You will lie down
Oh, put yourself away from all your love
And you will soon lie down
Said I can leave it way open eyes
I go to you see me whine
See me lie here
Oh, call see me whine call you way down
The pain has been riddling me oh will I, yeah
Open, I will
I will leave it to destiny to choose which way I go to
I will leave destiny
To choose which direction it is that I'm gong to
My face open eye you leave I mean I
And I will
And we will leave most men, most men lie
I fear that we will go away most men, most men
Leave us crying
