[Intro — Female Vocal] Wide open Wide open Let the day come rolling in [Verse 1] My coffee’s cooling on the windowsill There’s a bus outside climbing up the hill I leave a little early, take the longer way Got a melody too big for yesterday Somebody’s waving from across the street I catch the rhythm underneath my feet Before I find the words, I’m singing out Let the morning hear what I’m about [Pre-Chorus] Take a breath Let it carry Past the roofs and railway lines Something in the air is rising And I’m rising right beside it [Chorus] Wide open, wide open Let the day come rolling in With my heart out in the open And the sunlight on my skin Oh, I’ve got a voice to give And a whole sky to give it to Wide open, wide open There’s room here for you too [Verse 2] The pavement shimmers in the afternoon An open window plays a half-known tune I sing the missing words and get them wrong Somebody laughs and then they sing along We let the crossing signal keep the time Two different voices on the same loose rhyme Then we go our ways, but something stays I hear that harmony for half the day [Pre-Chorus] Take a breath Let it carry Where the road runs out of sight Feel the distance getting smaller When a voice comes back to mine [Chorus] Wide open, wide open Let the day come rolling in With my heart out in the open And the sunlight on my skin Oh, I’ve got a voice to give And a whole sky to give it to Wide open, wide open There’s room here for you too [Guitar Solo — Melodic, Soaring] [Bridge — Stripped Back, Then Building] When the evening reaches down And the shops are closing up There’s a tune still going round From a voice beside the bus I can hear it turning corners I can hear it heading home I only sang a little louder Now it’s farther than I know [Final Chorus — Full Band, Female Harmonies] Wide open, wide open Let the day come rolling in With my heart out in the open And the sunlight on my skin Oh, we’ve got a voice to give And a whole sky to give it to Wide open, wide open There’s room here for you too [Outro] Wide open Wide open I hear you singing too
