“Open Book” is the tenth and final song on José González’s most recent album, Vestiges and Claws.
The lyrics were reviewed with the lyrics video from the official José González YouTube page for accuracy.
[Chorus 1]
I feel just like an open book
Exposing myself in this neighborhood
Talking to people as if I knew them well
Thinking that everyone
Has gone through different kinds of Hell
[Verse 1]
Lately I've found myself in doubt
Asking myself what it's all about
What am I doing here, what's this leading to?
What's the point of it all without you?
[Verse 2]
Well, I've got promises to keep
Like a cat I know I'll land upon my feet
Each time I fall
[Chorus 2]
Every now and then in dreams
By the river 'neath our tree
Leaves in yellow, red and brown
I hear you whisper in my ear
Your love belongs to everyone
[Verse 3]
I feel just like an open book
A couple of words was all it took
In front of a bright white canvas
Staring vacantly now free against my will
[Verse 4]
A drifting vessel in the storm
Pushed around from shore to shore
I know there's so much left to see
I know I have so much left to give
[Verse 5]
But the memories remain
Yet the scars don't feel the same
Filling pages one by one
In the warmth of other suns
