Well, I've got some scattered pictures Lying on my bedroom floor Reminds me of the times we've shared Makes me wish that you were here 'Cause now it seems I've forgotten My purpose in this life Well, all the songs have been erased Guess I've learned from my mistakes well Open the past and present now, and we are there Story to tell, and I am listening Open the past and present and the future too It's all I've got and I'm giving it to you Well, loose ends tied in knots Leaving a lump down in my throat Well, gagging on a souvenir Lived to fill another year We'll drag it on and on Until my skin is ripped to shreds Well, leaving myself open wide Living out a sacrifice, well Open the past and present now, and we are there Story to tell and I am listening Open the past and present and the future too It's all I've got and I'm giving it to you If you got no one And I've got no place to go Would it be alright? Could it be alright? Well, I've got some scattered pictures Lying on my bedroom floor Reminds me of the times we shared Makes me wish that you were here, 'cause 'Cause now it seems I've forgotten My purpose in this life Well, all the songs have been erased Guess I've learned from my mistakes well Open the past and present now, and we are there Story to tell, and I am listening Open the past and present and the future too It's all I've got and I'm giving it to you It's all I've got and I'm giving it to you
