Open Letter

(album: Everyone We Know - 2017)

[Jeswon, Tuka & Meklit Kibret:]
You got me open
Open like a letter
Open like a letter to God
But it's you I believe in

[Tuka:]
My wings are broken and my feathers are lost 'cause I dive in
The deep end, fuck it I'm a live without them
And I was hoping that I'd be better off if I could hide all my
Secrets so I wouldn't even need to think about it indeed
I wrote a letter, I never sent it
I left it in my dresser addressed it return to sender
But then when I met you it changed the way I read it
So I guess it's why I'm penning this page and making edits
Talk about a first impression 'cause when you stepped in
It took a second to set in then I heard you mention
How you think everything is interconnected
Before you went on to summarise my life up in a single sentence
And there ain't no point tryna fight the feeling
Shit is hectic, my mind was reeling, had my head in my hands
Tryna comprehend it
Tryna centre myself, here I am, I hope my message is felt

[Jeswon, Tuka & Meklit Kibret:]
You got me open like a letter to God
But it's you I believe in
You got me open like a letter to God
But it's you I believe in

You make it look good
You make it seem so easy
Got it on lock, knocking on wood
Pray you don't leave me everyday
You make it look good
You make it seem so easy
Got it on lock, knocking on wood
Pray you don't leave me everyday

[Jeswon:]
I've been getting tipsy tipping out this grey goose
I wrote an open letter send it out to Jesus
Hey you! Wondering does it even make a difference
When I'm scribbling my hymns? Am I pissing in the wind?
Are the people listening to what I say?
And does it really fricking matter anyway?
If they do or they don't? I don't know, my ego's out control
But it could all be over any day so I pay
Homage, to my lady she's a goddess
Taking solace in her body, still I'm living like a novice
She was tryna drop some knowledge
Telling me I got some problems to acknowledge
Get on it 'cause it's rocky at the bottom
I solemnly swear to address all my weaknesses
Just know that it's you I'm believing in
You said I gotta learn to love 'fore I get it right
So I'll be working on my love till the end of time

[Jeswon, Tuka & Meklit Kibret:]
You got me open like a letter to God
But it's you I believe in
You got me open like a letter to God
But it's you I believe in

You make it look good
You make it seem so easy
Got it on lock, knocking on wood
Pray you don't leave me everyday
You make it look good
You make it seem so easy
Got it on lock, knocking on wood
Pray you don't leave me everyday

[Meklit Kibret:]
You got me open
Open like a letter
Open like a letter to God
But it's you I believe in
You got me open
Open like a letter
Open like a letter to God
But it's you I believe in
She said "Learn to love, learn to love
Learn to love before you get it right"
She said "Learn to love, learn to love
Learn to love before you get it right"
