CAN'T HIDE
written by john common

have I ever showed you
have you ever thought to ask
did you every wonder or worry
about the things in my past

sometimes, you catch me thinking
I'm far away
standing in the middle of the kitchen
with a strange look on my face
I should do a better job
I shouldn't lock you out
I'm gonna swing the doors wide open
and let you walk around

I can't hide from you
I don’t try anymore
I'm an awful liar
and I hate closed doors
besides it makes me tired
I can't hide from you
(I don’t want to)

I want to take you to memphis, texas
to a little bar I know
I want to take you to flowers, mississippi
when the cotton blows like snow
I want to take you to pensacola
all the way back home
introduce you to my brothers
show them why I'm not alone

I can't hide from you
I don’t try anymore
I'm an awful liar
and I hate closed doors
besides it makes me tired
I can't hide from you
(I don’t want to)

sometimes, early in the morning
I watch you sleep
lying there just like an angel
and it makes me think
I should do a better job
I shouldn't lock you out
I'm gonna swing the doors wide open
and let you walk around

I can't hide from you
I don’t try anymore
I'm an awful liar
and I hate closed doors
besides it makes me tired
I can't hide from you
(I don’t want to)

JOHN COMMON Denver

Confession: I like broken shit. I’m just drawn to it. Always have been. I like it even more if it used to be shiny, beautiful, innocent or full of promise. See, the way down is so interesting to me. The way it actually happens, why it happens, the little details that break off as it’s happening. ... more
