Broken Open Lyrics

I locked my keys in the car
I�m pleading for some change
The meter treats me like a stranger now
Flashing zeros

I�m juggling a drink too full
While tugging on a leash that you pull
And jogging my memory for
The way to your door

I have been broken open
By my most trusted friend
I was the wild card,You were their safe bed
I have been broken open

I�m up and down that way
It�s easier to say that I�m doing okay
Than bother to explain
The water rising

Threw out your crystal ball and your weather vain
Picasso don�t pre-meditate he just paint
Tonight it�s so easy
To overflow

I have broken open
Was a perfect gentleman
Now I�m smashing champagne, tying cans
Feel like celebrating

I have been broken open
Dug to china with their hands
When you asked me if I'd like to dance
I�ve been broken open

Flow over me, flow over, flow
Over flow

It feels so strange to feel good
And when I was the fire you were wood
So when I was petrified
You understood

I have been broken open
This was not my master plan
I was comfortable watching from the stands
I have been broken open

All my edges are exposed
I was once content alone
Now you brought the one that I call home
I�ve been broken open

Flow over me, flow over, flow x7

The third verse should read:

"I have been broken open By my most trusted friend I was the wild card, you were the safe bet I've been broken open"

Great song.

Lyric Correction

Is "broken open" a kind of expression in english? What does it mean?? Thanks!

Song Meaning

It's not really an expression. When he says broken open, he means he's become vulnerable. For a woman.

The lyrics in this one are a little off. Some important ones. The last line is "Now you are the one that I call home."

He's talking about falling in love and getting married. I especially like the part "Now I'm smashing champagne, tying cans."

Seriously can not stop listening to this song. What a great love song. Seriously the best verse from a song: "It feels so strange to feel good And when I was the fire you were wood So when I was petrified you understood"

I love it!
