An Open View

[Verse 1] Sitting in my car outside open view Looking at a sky doing what it wants to do Grey to white, white to grey, stacking up so tall Cumulus like mountains over mountains, watching it all ________________________________________ And I ain't never flown, but I know how it feels To be loose, to be light, to be up there for real No engine, no wings, just a daydream that stays Hanging out in the clouds like a bird for a day Yeah, hanging in the clouds like a bird for a day [Verse 2] One's a silver island, one's a feathered wing Sun cuts through the middle, makes the grey clouds sing If I had a little two-seater and a little more time I'd climb that cotton ladder, leave this car behind ________________________________________ And up there ain't no rent, no second-guessing Just a soft grey blanket and a blue-sky blessing Maybe some of us are born with sky in our chest Looking up is just our way of coming home to rest[Bridge] [Final Chorus - quieter] So I'm sitting in my car in an open view Grey to white, white to grey, beautiful and true I've never flown, but I don't need no proof 'Cause I'm already up there, hanging out with you Just hanging in the clouds with you Just a bird for a day.
