An Open Bottle Songtext
von Terry Dan

No one wants to tell you how to live life on the edge
You prob′ly wouldn't hear them anyway
You may not have thought that you would fall off of the ledge
The rest of us all knew it yesterday

Sink or swim, an open bottle doesn′t float
You've got the put the cork back in to live
Make the effort for yourself and then you'll know
That makes all the difference in the end
And that an open bottle doesn′t float


We saw you going under and wanted so to help
Every boat we sent, you didn′t take
We thought there would be more time to realize regrets
And set a course away from those mistakes

Lose or win, it was all out of our control
It's not for us to say what you could do
Where you went was where you chose to go
I′m so sorry that you never knew
An open bottle doesn't float

Hell or high water, it doesn′t matter which
The change in your direction is when you choose to switch

Lose or win, it was all out of our control
It's not for us to say what you could do
Where you went was where you chose to go
I′m so sorry that you never knew
An open bottle doesn't float
