I am unwritten
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, oh, oh

I break tradition
Sometimes my tries are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes
But I can't live that way

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins


Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins


Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, yeah, yeah

    My Interpretation:I know this song isn't about writing, but I'm an author this song always inspires me when I'm stuck or have second thoughts about publishing another book.


    Staring at the blank page before you
    Open up the dirty window
    Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find (When I'm stuck and I can't find words)

    Reaching for something in the distance
    So close you can almost taste it (I know what I want to write, but I can't get it down)
    Release your inhibitions
    Feel the rain on your skin
    No one else can feel it for you
    Only you can let it in
    No one else, no one else
    Can speak the words on your lips
    Drench yourself in words unspoken
    Live your life with arms wide open
    Today is where your book begins
    The rest is still unwritten (I just need to release that perfectionistic side of me and let myself write what I want to write without thinking about it. No one else can write my books but me.)

    Oh, oh, oh

    I break tradition
    Sometimes my tries are outside the lines
    We've been conditioned to not make mistakes
    But I can't live that way (Sometimes my writing is a bit outside the box. I break rules, use made-up words when I can't find the write one in the dictionary, but it's ok.)


    So yeah, I know that isn't the correct interpretation of the song, but it's the way I always think when I hear it, and it helps me to get back to my keyboard and finish up that story.

    Lyric Correction:Reaching for something in the distance
    So close you can almost taste it
    Release your inner visions

    DOESN'T SHE SAY RELEASE YOUR INHIBITIONS???????????????????
    That would make a lot more sence.
