Avett Brothers – Open Ended Life

 Pack a change of clothes and a pillow for the road
 for when you drift off to sleep
 Put the sketches and the notes in the box labeled ‘burn with furniture’

 We will watch the fire burn the whole entire house we built
 down to ashes
 From the mirror we’ll admire how the flame quickly retires
 We won’t waste a long goodbye on the smoke or foolish lies
 that finally passed us

 I was taught to keep an open-ended life
 And never trap myself in nothing

 Let’s find something new to talk about
 I’m tired of talkin’ about myself
 I spent my whole life talkin’ to convince
 everyone that I was something else

 And the part that kinda hurts is I think it finally worked
 and now I’m leaving
 I get the feeling things have changed
 But the mystery to me is where and when along the way
 Did anyone decide that they believed me

 I was taught to keep an open-ended life
 And never trap myself in nothing
 I was told to keep an open-ended life
 To never trap yourself in nothing

 When we settle down in another nowhere town
 let’s tell our neighbors
 We won’t be here long and we’ll be quiet
 but don’t go askin’ any favors

 I can’t stand the unexpected uninvited visits
 from too many strangers
 My trust has dwindled down
 And I can leave just as abruptly as I came here

 I was taught to keep an open-ended life
 And never trap myself in nothing
 I was taught to keep an open-ended life
 To never trap yourself in nothing
 I was taught to keep an open-ended life
 And never trap myself in nothing
