Not Every Opening

V6

[Intro] There it is Wide open ... Don't mean it's mine [Verse 1] Used to think an open doorway Was an invitation in Used to think if I could reach it I was supposed to take the chance Every green light felt like movement Every offer felt like proof Every silence needed filling Every opening needed use Then I started watching closer How much trouble looks like opportunity When you need it to be [Pre-Chorus] Just because it opened Don't mean I gotta move [Chorus] Not every opening is an entry Not every green light means go Some doors open just to show you You finally learned to tell 'em no I can see it I can want it I can let it pass me by Not every opening is an entry Sometimes knowing is the prize [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Saw it sitting on the screen Looking almost good enough One little move One little reason One more chance to press my luck Felt that old hand on my shoulder Saying don't just sit there—move Then I heard something underneath it Quiet Nothing here to prove Same thing happens with a dollar Same thing happens with a door Same thing happens when somebody Offers what you wanted before You can spend your whole life entering Every place that lets you in Never asking if the opening Leads anywhere you meant to be [Pre-Chorus] Just because it opened Don't mean I gotta move [Chorus] Not every opening is an entry Not every green light means go Some doors open just to show you You finally learned to tell 'em no I can see it I can want it I can let it pass me by Not every opening is an entry Sometimes knowing is the prize [Long Instrumental] [Bridge] I used to call it hesitation When I didn't take the shot Used to think that I was losing Everything I could've got But maybe choosing isn't choosing If you never let one leave Maybe freedom ain't having every option Maybe freedom isn't needing every one you see [Instrumental Expansion] [Breakdown] There it is again Wide open Heart moving Hands ready ... No [Heavy Instrumental Return] [Final Chorus] Not every opening is an entry Not every green light means go Some doors open just to ask you If you know what you know I can see it I can want it And still leave it where it lies Not every opening is an entry Sometimes passing is the sign [Outro] There it goes ... Didn't take it Didn't lose it Just knew it wasn't mine
