Open Road Songtext
von Gary Barlow

My life is extraordinary bare
I fought the fear and chased the pain
My life doesn′t need to be explained
I chose to walk the line as one

Sometimes
When I live upon my island
Cut off from emotion and it's pain
That′s when
I'm tempted by the waters
The waters that can take me far away

So, I'll 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
Oh, my life had the goodness of blue waters
A day′s a day, for all I used to say

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′ll 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 pulled 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
And the man was me
The man was me
