Solo I am unwritten
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning

Ending unplanned
S+ T ooh
A Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illu ALL minate the words that you could not find
A+ T ooh
S Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
All Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
ALL I break tradition
Sometimes my tries are outside the line - yens
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes
But I can't live that way oh oh
A Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illu ALL minate the words that you could not find
A+ T ooh
S Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
All Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Oh oh yeh
ALL Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

ALL Release your inhibitions
ALL Sometimes, I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
