[Verse 1]
I'll try to keep myself open up to you
That's a promise that I made to love
When it was new
"Just like Jericho" I said
"Let the walls come tumbling down"
Said it like I finally found the way
To keep the good feelings alive
I said it like there was something to strive for

[Verse 2]
I'll try to keep myself open up to you
And approve your self expression
'Cause I need that from you, too
I need your confidence, baby
And the gift of your extra time
In turn I'll give you mine
Sweet darling, it's a rich exchange
Seems to me
It's a warm arrangement

[Bridge]
Anyone will tell you
Just how hard it is to make and keep a friend
Ah maybe they'll short sell you
Or maybe it's you
Judas, in the end
When you just can no longer pretend
That you're getting what you need
Or you're giving off anything for them to grow and feed on
[Verse 3]
I'll try to keep myself open up to you
It's easier and easier to do
Just like Jericho
Let the walls come tumbling down
Falling on the ground
And all the dogs go running free
The wild and the gentle dogs
Kenneled in me
