jay bennett - wide open lyrics

you always thought it was blood
but it was only red wine
and that just goes to prove
you’re not the same girl at the same bar
ordering the same drink at closing time
your refrigerator magnets
i’m holding as evidence against you
and i’ll present them to a jury of your peers
but for you that would be impossible to do

but the wide+open sp+ces
turned out to be just wide
and to me that just proves that the here+and+now’s
where to practice being kind

your bumper stickers
i bump into them every place i go to
but do you think that plagiarizing and abbreviating wisdom
is what jesus would do?

giant t++th, and you flash your new smile
trying to conceal but knowing all the while
that more than just your picture’s on file
there are no small places, just small minds
and every word of wisdom you fail to catch
somebody else will find
you think you’re ageless and timeless
but the truth is that even your beauty will fade
but you’ve done it so well
and taught yourself to be so reckless
or is that just what god made?

but the wide+open sp+ces
turned out just to be wide
and to me that proves that the here+and+now’s
where to practice being kind

every memory of beauty
battles each yardstick of time
and every second of every minute
of every hour of every day
brings you closer to the back of the line

but there are no small faces, just long lines
and every moment of life you waste
becomes somebody else’s time
and the wide+open sp+ces you thought were yours
i thought were mine
and the love that held us together
we lost somewhere along the climb
