Open Road Songtext
von Gary Barlow

My life
Is extraordinarily fair
I fought the fear
I chased the pain
My life
Doesn′t need to be explained
I chose to walk the line as one

Oh, sometimes
As I live upon my island
Cut off from emotion and its pain
Oh, that's when
I am tempted by the waters
The waters that can take me far away


So I just keep on walking
Down this open road
Hoping someone somewhere needs me
So I′ll just keep on walking
Down this open road
Talking to the man who knows me
Yes, he knows me
The man is me

My life
Was once full of people's faces
Brought to me by love which isn't strange
My life
Had the goodness of blue waters
A day′s a day for all I used to say

Oh, sometimes
I can sit and cry my heart out
Drowning in my autocratic ways
Oh, that′s when
I am tempted by the waters
The waters that can take me far away


So I just keep on walking
Down this open road
Hoping someone somewhere needs me
So I'll just keep on walking
Down this open road
Talking to the man who knows me
Yes, he knows me
The man is me

My life
Is now full of people′s faces
Within the light of change I've hauled away
Oh, my life
Shows that no man is an island
I′ve exchanged the piece of life I cut away

Now you won't see me
Walking down that open road
I′ve found someone now who needs me
No, you won't see me
Walking down that open road
I've found at last the man who knows me
Yes, he knows me
The man is me
