[Verse 1]
Well, I've got better things to do
Than wait and prove myself to you all night
There's no pride in sitting around
Biting your tongue just to be polite
So, everything is not the way that you thought it would be
Swallowing your comfort, it's a stale taste to me

[Chorus]
Well, open wide
You've got another thing to learn
Take your hands off your ears
You're only making it worse
And we'll be alright
If you make it right

[Verse 2]
You put your hands over my eyes
Said, "This is your protection,"
'Cause everybody's got a way of being so reckless
And I'll do anything to get it off my mind
'Cause nothing's quite as nice from the passenger side

[Chorus]
Well, open wide
You've got another thing to learn
Take your hands off your ears
You're only making it worse
And we'll be alright
If you make it right
