So all surrounded

By the things I thought I'd put away

An all surrounded

By the things I thought I'd put away

An?there's a pile in the closet

That's where I threw some yesterday

Maybe under the rug

That's where I swept some the other day



So the mess is drawing forces

Outside I hear them say

(Just) come out with your hands up

So we can blow you away

And I walk out the door

Get blown wide open

By the things I'd put away

And I wasn't even warned

Just blown wide open

By the mess is where I lay



So'm all surrounded

By the things I thought I'd put away

So'm all surrounded

By the things I thought I'd put away

And if I'm a slob

I never looked at it that way

Irresponsible

When you're not the first to say



But I told her I'm sorry

I never wanted it this way

Yeah, I still need her

But the mess won't go away

And I walk the door

Get blown wide open

By the things I'd put away

And I'm out on the porch

Just blown wide open

By the mess is where I lay

Yeah, blown wide open

Blown wide open

Blown wide open

Blown wide open

The gun's still smokin'

Blood keeps flowin'

Blown wide open

Blown wide open

[Why's she going]

All surrounded
