Wide Open (feat. Beck) Lyrics

I'm wide open
But don't I please you anymore?
You're slipping away from me
You're drifting away from me

I'm wide open
But don't I please you anymore?
You're slipping away from me
You're slipping away from me

Slow me down
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me

Slow me down
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me

I'm wide open
But I couldn't see it anymore
You're drifting away from me
You're slipping away from me

I'm wide open
I'm wide open
I'm wide open

One day just gonna see me
Look back and forth from the ceiling
(I'm wide open)
Some day love's gonna hurt me
Turn back and soon I'll believe it

Slow me down
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me

Slow me down
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me

I'm wide open
I'm wide open

Slow me down
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me
It's getting away from me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Wide Open (feat. Beck) lyrics by Chemical Brothers, The

I'm finally wide open to someone - vulnerable; showing emotions; slowly opening up about my issues. Open for love after years guarding myself.

But as soon as I open up, you lose interest.

You may still be here (for now) but starting to drift and slip away from me.

I tried. It didn't work. You killed it. "I couldn't see it anymore".

Makes me wonder - will we ever see each other again? Maybe. But I am not sure I will be as wide open.
