lyrics

I leave my heart out in the open for all to see
It’s a thrill to be so fervent in great company
When once I was so frightened, now I think I’m free

There’s no lid on the bottle
I have nothing to hide
There’s no lid on the bottle
And I shake it up sometimes
Tell no lie

Now I’ve shown and shared so much I should stay a while
No end to the things I will learn. There’s never enough time
The future feels much brighter now I can see inside hearts and minds

There’s no lid on the bottle
No reason to lie
There’s no lid on the bottle
And I shake it up sometimes

Smirking in winter through the smoke and wine
As long as life keeps getting stranger, I’ll be fine

There’s no lid on the bottle
I never fake a smile
There’s no lid on the bottle
And I shake it up some
There’s no lid on the bottle
Nothing I won’t try
There’s no lid on the bottle
And I shake it up sometimes
